CERES Community Environment Park - Winner of Premier's Sustainablity Award 2007

CERES, situated on the banks of Merri Creek in East Brunswick, is one of Australia's most visited environmental education centres. CERES creates change towards sustainability through a diverse range of community based projects, activities and programs locally and overseas.

What was once a wasteland and rubbish tip, is now an urban oasis that has evolved over 25 years, educating, celebrating and evolving as a community place of ecological sustainability, cultural diversity and social change. With an extensive education program at CERES - over 77,000 half day visits in 2007, in schools, CERES facilitates AuSSi - Australian Sustainable Schools Initiative to over 270 schools in Victoria, as well as certificate and vocational training for students in specialist and community schools.
