Residents encouraged to step up on Clean Up Australia Day
Orange City Council is encouraging residents to roll up their sleeves and get involved in Clean Up Australia Day activities on Sunday 7 March.
Clean up Australia Day has been inspiring communities to clean-up and conserve the environment for more than 30 years and in 2021 the theme is ‘Step Up to Clean Up’.
Volunteers can simply turn up on the day and join in the clean-up at three Council-registered sites:
1. Elephant Park and surrounds including Moulder Park, with the focus being along Blackmans Swamp Creek. This site is being hosted by Orange City Council. Registration from 10am with a 12.30pm finish followed by a barbecue lunch.
Entries are now open for this year’s annual Banjo Paterson Writing Awards.
The contest is sponsored by Orange City Library, the Central Western Daily and ABC Central West.
Established in 1991, these awards aim to honour Banjo Paterson, a great Australian writer and favourite son of Orange, with a competition to encourage short story or poetry writing with Australian content.
INSPIRED BY BANJO: Mayor Reg Kidd catches up on some of Banjo Paterson’s poetry ahead of the Banjo Paterson Writing Awards.
A major change this year is that entrants will be able to email their entries, as well as post, by the due date, Friday 23 April 2021.
