Earlier this month, volunteers from Sydney Metro, CPB Contractors and United Infrastructure donated their time to Penrith Council’s Bushcare initiative for a clean-up day at Gow Park in Western Sydney.
Stepping away from their usual work of delivering the Sydney Metro —Western Sydney Airport, Surface and Civil Alignment Works (SCAW) project, the team removed weeds, maintained plantings, and collected approximately 10kg of litter.
Nestled in beautiful Mulgoa with Mulgoa Creek running through the site, Gow Park is home to impressive wildlife, including the vulnerable Powerful Owl, which was recently spotted perching in a gum tree.
CPB Contractors Project Director Vishal Khosla said that 31 team members took part.
“The project team are still talking about how much they enjoyed taking part and they have also brought valuable knowledge local flora and fauna back to site with them”, adds Vishal.
