Edgars Creek Master Plan

The Edgars Creek conservation and development plan seeks to establish a clear strategic direction for future integrated planning and management of open space along Edgars Creek between Merri Creek and Edwardes Lake.

The plan aims to protect and enhance the unique geology, cultural heritage and environmental values while achieving a sustainable balance between conservation and public access and use of open space along Edgars Creek.

Community announcement

The City of Darebin is asking the community to not feed the wildlife. When people feed ducks, native birds and wildlife, they may not realise that giving wildlife food that they wouldn’t normally eat is bad for their health and environment.

Please download this brochure for more information.

Winner, Moreland Sustainability Award, 2015

Friends of Edgars Creek played an integral role in the political campaign to save ten hectares of open space from development.

The Edgars Creek corridor has gone from what was a somewhat neglected landscape to a thriving habitat corridor which is and will be enjoyed by many generations to come.
