Summary
The project is part of the On-Farm Productivity and Riparian Recovery Program which is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements. Through the Targeted Recovery and Resilience Projects component, SEQ Catchments is assisting flood-affected landholders in the Fassifern, Lockyer and Upper Brisbane regions to return to production and improve the natural resilience of the waterways.
This project will assist the landholder to stabilise and improve resilience of approximately 200m of severely-eroded stream-bank along Cressbrook Creek immediately upstream from the junction of the Brisbane River through:
Proposed project monitoring and maintenance:
The project will improve water quality in the Brisbane River and Wivenhoe Dam by minimising further erosion through stock management, channel re-alignment, bank engineering and re-vegetation. BenefitsTo project aims to increase sustainable land management in the upper Brisbane catchment by assisting the resumption of agricultural production and promoting natural resilience to withstand future flood events, allowing resources to be allocated to NRM activities.
