Due to this area of the creek being a park area where people can have a picnic and book out an area for events, rubbish is a huge problem. Although bins are provided rubbish still manages to get into the water, which negatively effects the flora and fauna around the creek. Therefore Ceres has asked us to create a device that allows us to catch rubbish that is in the water which can then be collected by staff.
SITE
Site: Brunswick side near the CERES ( between Albion Street and Blyth Street) as there are many parks and facilities that people can use and therefore leads to a high amount of rubbish. Putting the device in at this site will prevent the rubbish from going further into the stream. This land originally belonged to the Wurundjeri people, who used to live at the site of the CERES building. Merri Creek was used as a place to swim, play and a place to gather food. After the European invasion and various other events like the gold rush, the creek was quarried for Bluestone and then turned into a landfill site. This site has now become polluted and the trees and wildlife have started to disappear.
