Summary
This project is part of the on-ground implementation of the Upper Logan Resilience project, an initiative supported by project partners Seqwater, in collaboration with Scenic Rim Regional Council.
The project will facilitate the control of weeds to restore native vegetation and creek bank resilience along Upper Oaky Creek to contribute to improved water quality and riparian health in the sub-catchment. The landholder will implement improved management practices for soil health by fencing off the area to reduce the impacts of continuous grazing. In addition, grazing management will be improved by splitting the current paddock into two smaller paddocks to allow for rotation of stock. A water point will be assembled to provide water for the new paddock. This project will be enhanced by similar works on neighbouring properties across the catchment aimed at improving water quality and reducing sediment loss within the catchment. The environmental benefit will include areas featuring ‘of concern’ Regional Ecosystem 12.8.16 ‘Eucalyptus crebra, generally with E. tereticornis and E. melliodora +/- E. albens grassy woodland and associated riparian vegetation types’. The proponent will maintain the weed control, erect a fence and complement this by managing native regrowth and areas of re-vegetation to stabilise the tributary gullies and banks of Oaky Creek. Photo-points will be used to monitor riparian vegetation condition in the project area. This project will:
