Summary
This project is part of the Cooyar Creek catchment rehabilitation project, an initiative of the Powerlink GreenWorks program. With funding from Powerlink and support from the Australian Government and partners Toowoomba Regional Council, Rosalie North Landcare Group and Greening Australia, SEQ Catchments is providing support, advice and incentives to assist landholders to protect and enhance the condition and connectivity of significant native vegetation on their properties.
The project builds on a previous project agreement with Greening Australia to undertake staged weed control works at priority sites along Cooyar Creek over the last two years, to remove threats to significant fringing riparian vegetation (predominantly RE 12.3.7 but currently mapped as RE 12.3.3) and to allow natural regeneration. This Stage 2 project aims to continue riparian works at previously untreated sections along Cooyar Creek through:
The 5-year GreenWorks program aims to provide lasting environmental benefits and enhance visual amenity in the vicinity of areas where Powerlink is planning to develop and operate essential electricity transmission infrastructure in the future. The project aims to implement:
