I recently visited the Bull Creek Reserve in my electorate of Tangney where the National Landcare Program is making a significant difference. The $2 billion program aims to enhance the environment, with $5 million funding local environmental projects initiated by groups like Friends of Bull Creek Catchment, which received a $20,000 grant. The grant will purchase 7,000 plants and control weeds along the footpath. When I visited I saw the transformation they had already made along the catchment. I was shown the before pictures and compared them to how the area looks now. The transformation is impressive.

I met with officers from the South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare and a group of Bush Rangers from Rossmoyne Senior High School. I was impressed with how these three groups, along with others, have worked together to revive this area. They contributed 1,300 hours last year. I am proud of their hard work and the positive difference they have made to the community and to Tangney more generally.
