In partnership with 
Murals have been painted, skate parks revamped, herb gardens built, and plenty of punters have a pretty damn great concert experience in their pocket. After 40 projects, 3000 volunteers and a lot of paint and hard work, Optus RockCorps has wrapped up for its third year with a huge concert at Luna Park's Big Top.
Filled with 3000 volunteers who had volunteered their free time helping out their community in exchange for tickets, the Big Top saw hip hop superstar Wiz Khalifa perform alongside Canberran dance duo Peking Duk, Brisbane pop sisters The Veronicas and bright young Atlanta artist Raury. You couldn't buy tickets to this gig — everyone who attended had participated in DIY, hands-on projects at community centres around Sydney. Well earned, team.
By the numbers, Optus RockCorps is a pretty impressive feat: 3000 volunteers took part, 12,000 volunteer hours were clocked up in Sydney throughout the initiative, 40 different community groups were helped out including youth groups, schools, community centres and environmental groups, 1446 litres of paint were used, 5180 muesli bars were given out, 4742 bottles of water were drunk, and over 100 x 50 litre bags of potting mix were dished out. Top notch.
