Summary
This project is part of the Enhancing biodiversity values in the Emu Creek, Ravensbourne and Crows Nest districts project, an initiative of the Powerlink GreenWorks program. With funding from Powerlink and support from the Australian Government and partners Toowoomba Regional Council, Emu Creek Catchment Landcare, Ravensbourne and District Landcare and Crows Nest Creek Catchment Group, 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.
This particular project aims to enhance environmental values of approximately 70ha around McConnel’s, Oaky and Emu creeks through:
This project is located in an area bordering Powerlink’s proposed 500kV power line easement and is part of the landholder’s long-term Property Management Plan developed through the Sustainable Land Management Practices project conducted by Emu Creek Catchment Landcare Group in partnership with local landholders and SEQ Catchments over the last four years. The landholder is committed to ongoing maintenance of the environmental outcomes and will monitor and record changes in riparian condition, grazing land and woodland health over time using photo-point monitoring in conjunction with standard land and vegetation condition assessment approaches. 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 to improve biodiversity in the Emu Creek catchment by removing environmental weeds.
