We welcome Moreland City Council's decision to change its name to the Woiwurrung phrase Merri-bek, which means 'rocky country.' The Council collaborated with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation on the renaming. We are particularly pleased that the new name has strong links to Merri Creek, or Merri Merri, as the name was originally recorded - meaning 'very rocky.' The new name will appear on digital materials and major signage soon.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land of the Merri Merri.
Moreland City Council now Merri-bek City Council

Merri Creek: from wasteland to parklands
See 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.
