KooyongKoot (Gardiners) Creek is a significant tributary of Birrarung (the Yarra River).
Our friends at the Yarra Riverkeeper Association (YRKA for short) recently launched Phase 3 of YRKA’s work on tackling polystyrene pollution to an engaged online audience of more than 100 people.
Phases 2 & 3 identify construction sites as the major source of polystyrene pollution in our waterways.
The KKA was very privileged to view a pre-release of Anthony Despotellis’ mini documentary at the recent Clean Waterway Expo at Blackburn Lake. We highly recommend the documentary to our readers – as well as the two detailed reports listed below (EPS is expanded polystyrene):
1. EPS pollution in the Yarra River Mini documentary (7 mins), 2025
2. Polystyrene pollution in the Yarra River: The Way Out (phase 3), 2025
3. Polystyrene pollution in the Yarra River: Deep Dive (phase 2), 2022
