Rehabilitation at Scrubby Creek at the end of James Street near Windale is continuing, with Lake Macquarie Council working hard to remove debris from the waterway.
Recent efforts have seen the removal of 28 shopping trolleys from the creek, and Mayor Jodie Harrison says the rehabilitation of the creek depends on residents acting responsibly and working with Council to preserve the area.
"It's really about everybody working together to ensure that Scrubby Creek is a healthy creek, we need residents to be mindful of what they do," says Harrison.
"It's not just putting things directly in the creek, it's litter. It really is about residents thinking about what they do and it's also about Council putting in place plans to improve the health of the creek."
