About Us
Djerriwarrh Creek and Bridge Community Inc is a community-led, not-for-profit organisation officially formed in 2024 by residents of Melton and Bacchus Marsh.
Our group was founded in response to the growing concerns over the environmental degradation and neglect of the Djerriwarrh Creek bridge area. The site is important because of its local history, natural beauty, and community value.
The focus of our group is the protection, restoration, and stewardship of the Djerriwarrh Creek area and its heritage-listed 1850s sandstone bridge that was a part of the original Western Highway.
The site holds ecological, geological, and cultural significance, including Indigenous heritage connections and its status as a community landmark and recreation and picnic area since its closure in the 1960s.
In recent years, the site has suffered from illegal dumping, vandalism, and inadequate management by relevant authorities.
