A new campaign to clean up the Victoria Car Cemetery has been launched by the state government.
The campaign will see a team of volunteers remove illegally dumped cars from the site, as well as clean up the surrounding area.
The Victoria Car Cemetery is located in the suburb of Campbellfield, and is home to around 500 abandoned and unregistered cars.
The site has been a source of concern for local residents for many years, as it has become a haven for crime and illegal activity.
The new clean-up campaign is part of a broader effort by the state government to tackle the issue of illegal car dumping.
The government has already invested $15 million in a new program to help local councils remove abandoned cars from their streets.
The program has been successful in removing more than 10,000 cars from Victorian streets since it was launched in 2021.
The clean-up campaign at the Victoria Car Cemetery will begin in October and is expected to take several months to complete.
The government is urging local residents to get involved in the campaign and help clean up the site.
Volunteers can register their interest in participating in the campaign by visiting the website of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
