The Mount Gambier community are encouraged to get their hands dirty at Clean Up Australia Day events to be held across the city on Sunday 5 March 2023.
Clean Up Australia Day inspires and empowers communities to clean up, fix up, and conserve our environment. Australians are encouraged to join together to take positive action at Clean Up Australia Day events this year.
The City of Mount Gambier will host the clean up in the Cave Garden/Thugi.
City of Mount Gambier Environmental Sustainability Officer Aaron Izzard encourages sporting clubs, families, individuals and groups to bring their own gloves and participate in the clean up.
Getting involved with a local Clean Up Australia Day site each year is a good way to show your appreciation for the natural environment in a practical, hands-on way. City of Mount Gambier Environmental Sustainability Officer Aaron Izzard
“A central marshalling area will be located near the Civic Centre from 10:00am on the day for volunteer information,” Mr Izzard said.
Community groups, businesses and school groups can register their own Clean Up event. The City of Mount Gambier will support registered clean-up events located within the city by collecting the rubbish accumulated at the Clean Up Australia Day event.
