We are delighted that the #YarraRiverBlitz, proudly supported by the State Government of Victoria and Melbourne Water, was awarded the Keep Victoria Beautiful ‘Clean Beach/Waterways Award -Community-‘. In partnership with Cleanwater Group we’ve removed over 30,000 kg of waste from the Yarra River! This project would not be possible without the fantastic support of our Yarra Riverkeeper Association Members, the Yarra River community, our Sponsors and Partners. See below the video that announced the Yarra River Blitz as the winner of the Clean Beach/Waterways Community Award.

We would also like to thank everyone who played a part in making this event a success.
