Our ongoing work sites for regenerating the local creek banks.

WaCC have many current projects:

This project is managed by Julie Vejle and supported by Brisbane City Council and Habitat Brisbane. A bushcare groups meets regularly on this site to remove weeds. This allows the natural regrowth of native species.

 

Wood Park

The Wood Park Creek Restoration Project is located within the remnant vegetation area at Wood Park, Middle Park (Qld.4074), that is managed by Brisbane City Council. This is project is supported by Brisbane City Council’s Lord Mayor’s Environment Sustainability Grant. Katrin Lowe is WaCC Project Manager for this site and with her guidance the Park has an increased number of native species and far less weeds growing among the natives plants.
