During September and October, MCMC formed a special Stream Health Team to work in partnership with Environment Protection Authority (EPA) officers from the Yarra River Investigation and Response Program. Together, almost 100 workplaces were visited in an industrial area in West Heidelberg. Stormwater runoff from this area into Darebin Creek is a known pollution ‘hotspot’.
The key goal of the project was to educate people in workplaces about the potential pollution risks to stream health from workplace practices. The Stream Health Team (pictured) comprised Karen Borton and Julia Vanderood from Waterwatch in Banyule and MCMC’s Greg Woodward and Jane Bevelander. The project is funded by EPA Victoria.
