🌿✨ 2026 Step Up to Clean Up – A Wonderful Success! ✨🌿

On Sunday, 1 March 2026, from 3:00–5:00pm, our community came together at Hurstville Community Garden for this year’s Clean Up Australia Day activities — and what a fantastic afternoon it was!

Proudly organised by Hurstville Community Garden and Georges River Association, we were delighted to be joined by Councillor Ben Wang : Georges River Council - Hurstville Ward, Ash Ambihaipahar MP - Member for Barton, the event brought neighbours, families and friends together with one shared goal: to care for our local environment and strengthen our community spirit.

We also acknowledge the broader Clean Up Australia Day efforts led by Georges River Council. Earlier that morning, Council’s Bushcare team gathered at Claydon Reserve, Sans Souci, continuing the shared commitment across our region to protect and care for our natural environment (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/182Pj6U7iE/).💚

Thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic efforts, the Community Garden and nearby Woodville Park were refreshed and revitalised. Together, we removed litter, tidied garden areas, and helped restore the beauty of this much-loved green space. 🌱

More than just a clean-up, the afternoon was a reminder that small actions — when done together — create meaningful change. We saw children learning by example, neighbours connecting, and volunteers working side by side with smiles and purpose.

💚 Thank you to every participant who gave their time and energy. Your contribution has made a real difference to Hurstville.

Let’s continue working together for a cleaner, greener, and brighter future for our community. We look forward to seeing you at our next green initiative!
