Gregg reported that Clean Up Australia Day at Heatherdale Creek Parklands saw the highest volunteer turnout in its history, resulting in less rubbish being collected compared to previous years. Gregg attributed this improvement to the long-term efforts of the Heatherdale Creek Parklands Advisory Committee and volunteers led by Valerie Turnbull. Gregg emphasised that the event demonstrated strong community spirit across diverse groups, including the Ismaili community and local scouts. Gregg argued that collective maintenance fosters respect for shared facilities and ensures they remain valued for future generations.
