Next event

Sunday 17 November 2019, 9.30am-12.00pm

 

FoEC is proud to have Uncle Bill Nicholson a Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elder on site for a welcome to country.

We follow this up with maintenance at the site where he will be speaking – the caravan park site, access from Norfolk Court in Coburg North (off Newlands road) or from Elizabeth street (at the northern end where it meets Jenkin Street – take the path to the creek line).

Uncle Bill will talk from 9.30am and we follow this with maintenance at the site (which is not mandatory; stay for Uncle Bill and then enjoy your Sunday – that’s fine). Forecast is looking really nice – 18 degrees and partly cloudy, no rain expected. Don’t forget good footwear, hat, sunscreen and food/water. We will also have our usual cuppa and snacks afterwards.

And please forward to as many of your networks/contacts as possible to enable as many people as possible to hear Uncle Bill speak.

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.

Access the development plan here.

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.
