G4WB Backyard Biodiversity - Term 4 - 2025

FREE

Come for a walk ….. in Creswick Forest

You are about to book the 3.30 pm walk.

Let’s explore a small patch of local bushland on this free family-friendly guided stroll along Slaty Creek and surrounding forest. Along the way we’ll look for wildflowers, introduce you to the sights and sounds of local birds, familiarise you with the trees and shrubs that make up their habitat and start you thinking about the benefits of growing local flora to create a wildlife haven in your own patch.

Creswick Forest, Slaty Creek Picnic Ground 1

Date: Sunday 30 November

Time 3.30pm - 4.45pm


3.30 pm Walk: Please note there is no transport offered for the 3.30pm walk. Please make your way to Slaty Creek Picnic/Campground 1 by 3.20pm or meet G4WB outside Creswick Town Hall by 3.15pm and follow in your own vehicle.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided and there are basic toilet facilities.

Total return walking distance is less than 2 km. The track is rough in places so wear sturdy shoes, long trousers and sleeves, hat and sunscreen and bring a water bottle.

Bookings are essential as places are limited. Please cancel your ticket/s if you can no longer attend so that we can make your place available to others.

If you have access requirements, special dietary requirements or would like us to make reasonable adjustments to make your experience more positive, please contact the Ballarat East Neighbourhood House team.

    Cancellation Policy

    Ballarat East Neighbourhood House (BENH) reserves the right to cancel activities if the required minimum number of participants enrolled prior to the activity starting date is not met. A full refund will be given for payments received.

    In the case that the activity teacher is unable to attend due to illness or an unexpected change of circumstances, the class may be postponed to a later date or cancelled. If the class is postponed and the rescheduled date does not suit a participant, a refund may be requested.

    Refund Policy

    Fee refunds are not automatic and must be applied for in writing to the Manager.

    The following will be taken into account before a Refund is issued:

    • Approved fee refunds are only processed after the fees have been cleared through the bank account.
    • A student excluded, suspended, or expelled under a BENH/Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre/ Wendouree Neighbourhood Centre policy or procedure is not entitled to a refund (except where any Commonwealth or State legislation or code of practice provides otherwise).
    • Where the student ceases training of their own volition prior to the midway point of the program (defined as midway through unit completion, or midway through time period of course, whichever is the earlier), the maximum fee refund will be 50% of the total fee payment.
    • Where the student ceases training of their own volition after the midway point of the program as defined above, no refund is payable.
    • Refunds will not be issued after course commencement except in exceptional circumstances or where funding guidelines stipulate this requirement. In exceptional circumstances a participant may apply in writing for special consideration of a refund for the following bereavement, hospitalisation and/or unexpectedly having to assume carer’s responsibilities.
    • BENH will not issue refunds for a change in working hours; inconvenient travel; moving interstate; job change or change of career direction or change of mind.
    • Actual attendance in class by the student will not be considered when assessing a refund request.
