1st Moree Scouts Club are helping with the Moree Clean Up Australia Day. James and Emily Kerr with Riley Simmons.
Clean Up Australia Day is a simple way you can take action to clean up, fix up and conserve our prized Australian environment. Last year an estimated 550,300 volunteers removed 16,150 tonnes of rubbish at 7,341 sites right across the country – and this year’s Clean Up Australia Day is set to do even better.
Moree Plains Shire Council has identified the Moree Common as the area for the 2014 Clean Up. The Moree Common (Chinaman’s Lane Park Area) is located along Stonnington Road and Chinaman’s Lane, Moree (north Moree). Residents are being encouraged to log on and join the Moree Common site or register their own team to clean up any site throughout Moree Plains Shire. Head to www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au for more information and to register your support.
