A big thank you to Brock Tunnicliffe, City West Water, for the fantastic footage of the Kororoit Creek corridor. This footage was taken during the celebration of the 1 millionth tree planting as part of the Greening of the West project.
Kororoit Creek Preservation and Maintenance Program
In September, I announced a $450,000 grant that will serve to protect and preserve the precious land surrounding Kororoit Creek at the Altona Memorial Park for generations to come.
This grant will be used for maintenance works for the Eastern Reserve Area of the cemetery grounds, which is full of environmentally significant native flora, as well as land of cultural significance for the Wurundjeri people who hunted, fished and camped along Kororoit Creek for thousands of years.
