Narre Warren's creek and council
Eumemmerring Creek
The City of Casey is working to secure land for a missing 2.2 kilometre link in the Eumemmerring Creek trail at Narre Warren North, on land inside an Urban Floodway Zone. Low, damp ground along the creek is where water sits after rain.
Casey watches the larvae
Over summer and early autumn, Casey samples mosquito larvae across the municipality and passes the data to the Department of Health. At home, it points to water pooling in pot plant saucers and poorly screened water tanks.
Wasp nests are the owner's to fix
Casey's Community Local Law 2025 expects an owner or occupier to take immediate steps to have a wasp nest on private land destroyed, once they know about it. Keep clear of it and call a pest business.
Possums
Casey notes possums are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975, so the fix is keeping them out of the roof, not moving them on.
A start of summer check around the house
Saucers and tanks
Tip out pot plant saucers and look over the rainwater tank screen for holes.
Gutters
Clear the leaves, so rain drains away rather than sitting there for days.
The lawn and walls
Late in summer, watch for a steady stream of yellow and black wasps going in and out of a hole in the ground or a wall. Don't go near it.
The roof line
From the ground, look for loose tiles or boards and branches overhanging the house. Possums use both.
Write it down
Note what you saw, where and when. It makes the first conversation with a pest business far quicker.
