Caring for our environment

Mayor of Latrobe City, Councillor Kellie O'Callaghan said Clean Up Australia Day is an important day that highlights the need to clean up, conserve and care for our environment. "Clean Up Australia Day is a great opportunity to work together and take practical action. Together we can all make a real difference," said the Mayor.

"As all Australians know, over the past few years, we've seen severe bushfires, cyclones and floods, increased pressures on our biodiversity and an ever-growing volume of waste which leaks into our natural environment."

"Participating in a Clean Up Australia Day event changes the way you think about your everyday habits and shows the practical changes each of us can make." Cr O'Callaghan said. To learn more about community events happening on the day, visit the Clean Up Australia Day website.
