Happy 2022 to all FOLKC members and supporters
There are many more opportunities being explored for development along the Creek but you will need to watch this space!!
FOLKC has secured additional sponsorship funding from TOYOTA, Hobsons Bay Council, Melbourne Water and another of our long standing major supporters - Cedar Meats - which will allow the continuing involvement by FOLKC in ensuring the above projects are progressing!
I am actively seeking further funding from others at present to ensure the viability of FOLKC during this very exciting and extremely active development phase along our fabulous Kororoit Creek - Any takers??
Most of the additional funding will be used to keep existing sites (where access is allowed) at least tidy and not completely overgrown.

Congratulations to all FOLKC members for your input over twenty one years of work to resurrect the Kororoit Creek corridor. This recent award says it all - Well done.
Without your work, support and input at many levels, this award would not have beem possible.
I also want thank all the supporters of FOLKC - industry, local business, State & Federaal Government and especially the community who have participated at the many planting events along our fabulous Creek.
Hobsons Bay City Council have released a concept plan for Hosken Reserve and are asking for comments before completing the master plan. The plan can be accessed via HBCC website - Participate/Hosken Reserve of via this link

If you can send comments ASAP, it would be very much appreciated.
McKenzie Foods, Altona, volunteered to clean up a section of the Creek at Grieve Parade bridge on Tuesday 2 March as part of Business Clean Up Australia Day and did a fantastic jog. Thanks to all who attended.
FOLKC will be holding its 20th Clean Up event on Sunday 7 March, meeting at Barnes Road Bridge car park, Barnes Road, Altona North - All welcome
If COVID stays away, then we will definitely be having a get together on Sunday 7 March 2021, meeting at Barnes Road Bridge car park. This will be our Twenty First Clean Up Australia Day event and a chance for all of us to catch up at last.
I will outline the FOLKC year’s program at this event, hopefully whilst enjoying a cappuccino in one of the local cafes – If it rains then two cappuccino’s - Yeah!!
