Merri Creek Management Committee

Congratulations to the Reservoir Frogs Group and the Merri Creek at Northcote/Brunswick East Waterwatch Group for being nominated in the Sustainability category of the City of Darebin community awards 2019. Both groups are supported by the Merri Creek Management Committee. This year there were more than 50 nominations, so the competition was tight.

Although neither group won in the category, Toni, the leader of the Merri Creek Waterwatch group in Northcote/Brunswick East commented "It was a thrill being nominated and I just wanted to share the acknowledgment with everyone in our group, as it’s a 100% team effort and I’m so lucky it’s such a wonderful group."

If you are interested in either of these groups, please get in touch with us.
