Description

This World Cleanup Day, join in a community cleanup along the Birrarung, to help protect our vital river ecosystem.

Join the Yarra Riverkeeper Association for a hands-on day of action along the Birrarung. Help remove litter from the river and surrounding public spaces, connect with fellow river-lovers, and make an immediate impact on one of Melbourne’s most iconic natural places.

Explore the Yarra Riverkeeper hub to meet the team, discover ways to stay involved, find out about Yarra Riverkeeper Association’s upcoming festival celebrating the Birrarung – Birrarung Riverfest, and learn how we can all collaborate to ensure that Melbourne’s waterways are healthy, protected and loved now, and for many generations to come.

Get ready to roll up your sleeves from 10.30am, then enjoy a free sausage sizzle after the clean-up.
By joining this event, you’re helping to care for Birrarung, while contributing to the vision of the Yarra Strategic Plan.

Presented as part of RESET – a free festival for grounding and growing.

For thousands of years, the land around Birrarung (the Yarra River) has been Melbourne’s meeting place – an area of cultural significance for First Peoples and a place of creative expression. Today the site is home to the Melbourne Arts Precinct; a vibrant creative community and the artistic heart of our city.

Fed Square is the gateway to the art precinct – and as Melbourne’s public square it is the civic, cultural and community heart of the city. It also home to three of Victoria’s major cultural institutions: ACMI – Australia’s Museum of Screen Culture, the Koorie Heritage Trust (KHT) and The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia.

Located opposite the iconic Flinders St Station, Fed Square is also Melbourne’s premier meeting place, tourist destination and event venue for thousands of events a year – since opening in 2002, it has seen more than 110 million visits.

In 2019, Fed Square was listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, the youngest building in Australia to ever be recognised in this way.
