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.

Northcote Gorge plantingIn 2014, Friends of Merri Creek contracted MCMC to control serious environmental weeds, then plant trees, shrubs, and dense ground-storey plants at the striking Northcote Gorge for their project, Gorge-ous Views! Restoring the Merri Creek Habitat Corridor.  Melbourne Water River Health Incentives program funded the resoration of this volcanic escarpment on the east bank of Merri Creek north of Heidelberg Rd Northcote. There is still some more work to be done, but this photo story (739KB PDF file) shows the success of the project so far.

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.
