Local sites named for Clean Up Australia Day

Greater Bendigo residents can lend a hand to help clean up five local sites this Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 3, 2019.

City of Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Margaret O’Rourke said Clean Up Australia Day was an important community event and a great way for residents to come together and clean up local parks, reserves and bushland areas.

“I encourage people to get involved at one of the public sites that have been organised by local community groups and other organisations with support from the City. It’s a great thing to do for your local area,” Cr O’Rourke said.
