Creek clean-up at Umina campus
An 800 metre length of creek at Umina campus of Brisbane Water Secondary College will be cleared of rubbish from 10.30am on March 1, as part of Clean-Up Australia Day.
The clean-up at the site will be organised by the P&C at the campus.
Umina campus P&C president Mr Bruce Graf said: "We're hoping for a good turn-out of parents as well as members of the community to help clean the rubbish out of the creek."
He said the rubbish to be removed varied from bottles and cans to shopping trolleys.
It appeared the rubbish was the result of a combination of windblown material and stormwater flotsam, as well as careless littering and occasional deliberate dumping.
Meeting place for the clean-up will be the rear entrance to the campus in Ryans Rd, Umina.
