Formerly an intermittent stream, increased stormwater runoff with urbanisation of the Darebin Creek catchment has resulted in permanent water flow.
Nestled in the Darebin Parklands, the DarebinCreek Management Committee (DCMC) comprises five staff members and operates from the DarebinCreek Enviroment Centre, Alphington.
The DCMC was formed in 2001 by amalgamating the DarebinCreek Co-ordinating Committee (est.1984) and the Darebin Parklands Committee of Management (est.1978).
The parklands division manage, maintain, educate and revegetate the Darebin Parklands, whilst the co-ordination division plan, advise, liaise, and comment on a range of issues that effect the creek and its linear parklands.
