Wolston and Centenary Catchments ...

... describes the combined catchments of Wolston Creek and various sub-catchments in the Centenary Suburbs which feed directly into the Brisbane River.

The Wolston Creek catchment comprises Wolston Creek and its two tributaries, Bullockhead Creek and Sandy Creek, covering an area of 45 square kilometres. The latter two creeks begin in the Greenbank Military Training Area 11 kilometres to the south. Despite pressure from urban development, the Wolston Creek catchment still boasts significant ecosystems, including platypus habitat. It also contains the now-protected 138 hectare Pooh Corner site, which hosts a regional ecosystem now endangered in south east Queensland.

The Centenary catchments have a combined area of some 20 square kilometres and consist of Mount Ommaney Creek and Jindalee Creek plus several other minor, unnamed creeks, all of which drain separately into the Brisbane River. This catchment is highly urbanised, mainly residential but with natural bushland reserves along the Brisbane River, creeks and at other locations.
