Please join us on Clean Up Australia Day to clean up the roadside of Old Sydney Road, Wallan, between its intersections with Darraweit Road and Stockdale Road.

However, it’s also an area where lots of rubbish gets dumped along the roadside.

When: Sunday 1 March 2026 from 10am -12noon. A light lunch will be provided after the cleanup is completed at 12 noon.
