Clean Up Australia Day

Mr DIMOPOULOS (Oakleigh) (09:58): On Sunday I had the opportunity to host a Clean Up Australia Day event at Scotchmans Creek in Oakleigh, bringing together a host of different community groups and local residents to make a real effort to improve our local environment, as did many other colleagues. Scotchmans Creek is one of the nicest parts of open, natural space in the east, but like all local waterways at times it can become subject to rubbish and waste, so this was a perfect spot for our clean-up event.

I would like to firstly thank the City of Monash for their work in coordinating Clean Up Australia Day. I would also like to put on record my appreciation to South Oakleigh College, Oakleigh Grammar, Sankat Mochan Samiti, 9th Oakleigh (Hellenic) Scouts, Sacred Heart Girls College Oakleigh, Basava Samithi, the Bakhtar Cultural Association, the Carnegie and Oakleigh branches of the ALP and every local resident who turned out to help.
