Clean Up Australia Day
Ms GREEN (Yan Yean) (10:03): On Sunday I was privileged to host again the annual Clean Up Australia Day at Laurimar Wetlands. We have been doing this for more than a decade. Thank you to local families, including the Doreen Scouts, Girl Guides and Cubs as well as representatives from the Yan Yean Youth Advisory Council and Young Labor, who turned up on Sunday to help clean up, fix up and conserve these great wetlands in Laurimar. It was the largest turnout, and it saw the least amount of rubbish collected in over a decade, which means the Doreen community are caring for their neighbourhood every day of the year. The Diamond Creek Clean Up Australia Day event held its first clean-up, and it was huge in numbers and supported by all community groups in Diamond Creek: the men’s shed, Rotary, Lions, the CFA, Parkrun, Scouts, many more sporting clubs and more, all pulled together by our fabulous traders association.
