Step up and clean up

Clean up Australia was founded by Ian Kiernan, AO, and is one of the countries most trusted and recognisable organisations.

Over 20 million Australians have participated since its inception in 1990. Impressive!

Pip Kiernan, Chair of Clean Up Australia says, “….as we see the ever-growing volume of waste impacting our natural and marine environment …. together we can all make a real difference.”

From 11am on Sunday 5 March teams from the Casey ALP will be active at six sites.

Jack Wheeler will lead a team at Mount Evelyn, Steve Reeves at Olinda, Joe Matthews at Healesville, Heloise Martin at Upwey, Aleisha McDonald at Gembrook and Pam Vroland at Monbulk.

Daniela De Martino the Member for Monbulk and Tom McIntosh the Member for Eastern Victoria will be working with the Mount Evelyn team.
