Merri Creeek Management Committee

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land of the Merri Merri.

Bougainvilles skinkMCMC is looking forward to finding out more about the current state of fauna in the grasslands around Melbourne in 2022, as our skilled Ecological Restoration staff carry out contract work for the following species and clients:  

- Surveys of Growling Grass Frog, Striped Legless Lizard and Golden Sun Moth at Beveridge Recreation Reserve, for Mitchell Shire Council.

- Monitoring of Golden Sun Moth at a grassland offset site in Craigieburn for Hume City Council.  

- Monitoring of reptiles at new conservation reserves in the Merri Creek catchment and in the west of Melbourne, for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Wurundjeri panel - featureSee a web version of these fabulous panels which celebrate the outstanding community achievement since 1975 in transforming Merri Creek from a weed-smothered drain to a much-loved waterway running through a bushland corridor: fronts of panels (17MB file); backs of panels (9MB file).

The two metre size panels were originally displayed at libraries and other public places throughout the Merri Creek catchment over 16 months until late 2016, in celebration of MCMC's 25th Anniversary.
