FOLKC last night, received the prestigious community group award for its work along Kororoit Creek at an awards and recognition night, as part of Melbourne Water’s 21st Birthday of the River Health Incentives Program (RHIP).
This award was made to recognise and celebrate the dedication and passion of participants, many who have been in the program over numerous years. Since its inception RHIP has worked with 38 councils, over 230 Friends Groups and over 4,300 individual land holders to facilitate over 12,000 projects
Congratulations to all FOLKC members and supporters who have contributed to the altering of the Creek from an industrial waste land and drain to a wonderful environmental corridor.
“The successes that Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek have achieved with the development of the Kororoit Creek corridor over the past fifteen years would have been severely diminished without the involvement of Melbourne Water.” (Geoff)
