Did you know our Community Bus Service has been running for over 20 years? Proudly owned and operated by the City of Melville, with Melville Cares managing bookings and volunteer drivers, the service helps local groups and individuals who face transport challenges stay connected and involved in the community.

We’re flexible with your availability and here to support you every step of the way in your volunteering journey.

Join us on Sunday, 30 August, 10.00am to 12.00 noon for a youth‑led environmental action event. At Piney Lakes, the Cockatoo Rehabilitation Site is being restored with plants that support these iconic birds and you can help.

This event brings together young people aged 16–25 years to make a real impact by weeding and caring for this special site in a supportive, inclusive setting. You’ll be guided by an experienced facilitator who’ll share knowledge about the area and how to weed effectively.

The next event is to be held on Wednesday, 2 September from 9.00am to 12.00pm at Booragoon Lake. We'll be hand weeding around this year's revegetation site.

Individuals and groups are welcome.

Bring your water bottle, hat and wear long pants and long sleeves.
