Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,400
• Waste removal and skip hire: $750
• Signage and educational materials: $150

Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Thinking of London.
Thinking of you, Grayson. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless
