Sunshine Heights Primary School students, staff and families will be rolling up their sleeves for Clean Up Australia Day.

The school is one of 22 sites already registered in Brimbank to take part in Clean Up Australia Day.

The official Clean Up Australia Day is March 5, but groups can clean up on other days if it doesn’t suit.

Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire said Clean Up Australia Day is a day where we can all come together and take action towards making a difference to our environment.

“This year, we are once again holding a number of clean-up activities across Brimbank,” he said.

“If you or someone you know would like to get involved, visit either Council’s website events page or the Clean Up Australia Day website for more information.”

Clean Up Australia chair Pip Kiernan said Clean Up Australia Day is especially important in 2023 because our environment is facing pressure unlike ever before.

“As all Australians know, over the past two years, we’ve seen severe bushfires, cyclones and floods, and increased pressures on our biodiversity and an ever-growing volume of waste which leaks into our natural and marine environment,” she said.
