A PROPOSAL has been put forward by the City of Greater Bendigo to name a revitalised one-hundred-and-fifty-metre section of land that sits parallel with Weeroona Avenue and traverses the Bendigo Creek Djimbayang Lar Natural Reserve.<\/p>\n

Djimbayang Lar means teaching and learning place in the Dja Dja Wurrung language and the community is now invited to comment on the nominated name through the Let’s Talk Greater Bendigo community engagement website by 3pm on Monday 17 November.<\/p>\n

All submissions will then be considered and a report will be compiled and presented to council.<\/p>\n

COGB climate change and environment manager Michelle Wyatt said the naming proposal is a result of the City and Dja Dja Wurrung’s recent partnership to undertake a range of environmental improvement works in the section of the Creek, which runs from Kings Bridge (constructed between 1900 and 1902) to the Vic Track railway bridge.<\/p>\n

“The works included the removal of the old concrete litter trap structure, rockwork to stabilise the banks, the creation of an informal rock crossing, installation of a gravel path on the western side, revegetation using indigenous trees, shrubs and ground storey plants, and the installation of new park furniture and interpretive signage,” she said.<\/p>\n

“The project was undertaken because it is the start of the more natural part of the creek, is located in a well accessed public area, and because it complimented other improvement works that have been undertaken at the nearby Wanyarra Dum frog ponds.”<\/p>\n
