It’s on again….it’s time to Clean Up, Mackay Region!
Take part in an event near you and help intercept the Mackay region's litter before it reaches the ocean. Our region has one of the most significant catchment systems of the Great Barrier Reef so let’s protect our unique blue river, ocean, and ecosystems by pitching in to help.
