Historical information

These photographs, taken by The Advocate in 2000, document the Friends Of Kororoit participating in a clean up of the creek's bank near the corner of Station Road and Millbank Drive, Deer Park.

The Friends of Kororoit Creek (FOKC) is a community-based environmental volunteer organisation formed in 1999 to protect, restore and enhance the natural environment along Kororoit Creek in Melbourne's western suburbs, particularly within the Brimbank area.

The group was established with support from a Brimbank City Council grant and has since grown into an active organisation that undertakes environmental restoration, revegetation, litter removal, habitat creation, community education and advocacy projects along the creek corridor.

Its mission is to protect and enhance the creek's environment while involving and empowering local residents in caring for their natural surroundings.
