π³π§π¦π§βπΎππΏπ©βπΎπΏπ¦π¨βπΎππ§π³Yesterday’s brilliant Spring weather meant that 12 volunteers enjoyed perfect conditions to test the water quality in Myles Dunphy Creek, and retrieve a fair amount of litter from the area. The quality of the creek water was good despite the lack of rain. We also discussed the possibility of establishing Streamwatch in Lugarno.We were fortunate to have Councillor Matt Allison: Peakhurst Ward, Georges River Council, Councillor Peter Mahoney: Peakhurst Ward – Georges River Council and Councillor Christina Jamieson: Mortdale Ward – Georges River Council to assist us, and were pleased to see that remediation works have been completed at the adjacent former Oatley Bowling Club site. OFF members and the general public look forward to that section of the reserve being reopened.
