Westgate Park Big Clean-up for Clean Up Australia Day

Come along and help us spruce up Westgate Park this Clean Up Australia Day! 

ACF Community Macnamara is teaming up with Westgate Biodiversity and Tangaroa Blue Foundation for a big clean-up event at the beautiful Westgate Park Port Melbourne on Sunday, 2nd March. We are holding this event along the narrow strip of Westgate Park, which runs alongside the Birrarung (Yarra River). 

SIGN UP TODAY

Revegetated and maintained over decades by volunteers, the park is an inspiring example of how a healthy ecosystem can be recreated within an urban environment. 🐸

This location is a real magnet for litter! 😣

Bring your family and friends if you wish, or just come along and chat with other like-minded people!

At our clean-up event, we will document the marine debris and litter removed from the park in the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (ADMI) Database. 

The AMDI Database records vital data that, after quality review, is used to identify litter and marine debris types and potential release sources, improve awareness and understanding of marine debris impacts and develop source reduction interventions to stop litter at the source.
