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 the upper Teviot Brook to contribute to improved water quality and riparian health in the sub-catchment. The environmental benefits will include improving the condition of native vegetation containing ‘of concern’ Regional Ecosystem 12.8.19, ‘Montane shrubland on Cainozoic igneous rocks’. 

The project will deliver:

• 1.25ha of weed management, including along 250m of creek bank (cat’s claw) to allow natural regeneration of native riparian species to improve bank stability.

The proponent will maintain the weed control undertaken in the project to protect the stream bank into the future. They will also use photo-points to monitor the weed control and riparian vegetation condition in the project area.

This project will:

• improve water quality in the Logan catchment by enhancing riparian vegetation condition and biodiversity connectivity in Teviot Brook through weed control
• increase landholder’s knowledge and skills in natural resource management and facilitate the uptake of sustainable land management practices
• establish 38ha of weed management, including along 250m of creek bank (cat’s claw).
