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 landholder to implement improved management practices for soil health by fencing off a gully area to reduce the impacts of continuous grazing on two gullies and build creek bank resilience along the upper Oaky Creek to contribute to improved water quality and riparian health in the sub-catchment. In addition, physical works will be installed to drown out an activity eroding section of one of the gullies. This will also be protected by an electric tape fence and be planted with blue grass seed by the proponent (landholder). A small trial investigating the potential of a thick vetiver grass hedge along an actively eroding bank in Oaky Creek will also be conducted as part of this project. This project will deliver:
The proponent will maintain the physical works, plant and maintain blue grass over the spillways, and erect a fence around the gullies. Additionally, the proponent will plant and maintain vetiver grass along the damaged bank in Oaky Creek. Photo-points will be used to monitor riparian vegetation condition in the project area and the success of the vetiver in protecting the Oaky Creek bank. Benefits
This project will:
