Come and celebrate Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 2 March. 
Join our clean up event at Koonung Creek Linear Park from 10.00am to 1.00pm.

Manningham is home to a variety of parks and reserves as well as rivers and creeks that connect to larger water systems. Unfortunately, we’re seeing litter in many of these areas, which can endanger our waterways and wildlife. 

Litter impacts our waterways

When waste ends up on the ground, it doesn’t just stay there – it washes into our waterways, especially during rainy or windy weather. This disrupts water quality and creates hazards for our aquatic life, making it harder for plants and animals to thrive.

Litter impacts our wildlife

Wildlife can also mistake plastic bags, food wrappers or small debris for food. When ingested, this can lead to choking, malnutrition and even death. 

What you can do

Clean Up Australia Day is a chance to take positive, practical action. 

Let’s roll up our sleeves, get outdoors and clean up Koonung Creek Linear Park.

• Sunday 2 March 2025 
• 10.00am to 1.00pm
• Koonung Creek Linear Park, 105 Leeds Street, Doncaster East, enter via Boronia Reserve

We'll provide gloves, litter collection gear, and a barbecue lunch.

Can’t make it on the day? No worries!

There are several ways to get involved and support this important cause:

Organise your own event

Even if you can't attend an official event, you can organise a clean up in your own neighbourhood or at a local park or beach. Clean Up Australia Day has resources to help you get started.

Spread the word 

Use your social media channels to promote the initiative, share tips for reducing waste, and encourage others to get involved. Check out instagram.com/cleanupaustralia for content.

Reduce your own waste

Make a difference by reducing your personal waste, recycling responsibly, and encouraging others to do the same. Every small action counts! 

By keeping litter out of our natural environment, we can create a cleaner, healthier Manningham for all.
