Summary
This project is part of the on-ground implementation of the Upper Teviot Brook Sub-catchment Management Project, an initiative supported by project partners Seqwater, Scenic Rim Regional Council, Scenic Rim Rivers Improvement Trust, and the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country program.
The project will control weeds, restore native vegetation and stabilise eroding banks over 4.3ha of Teviot Brook and two tributaries, which will contribute to improved water quality and riparian health in the sub-catchment. The environmental benefit will include areas featuring endangered Regional Ecosystem 12.3.3 ‘Eucalyptus tereticornis woodland to open forest on alluvial plains’ and other significant Regional Ecosystems classified under 12.9-10.7. As part of this project:
Landholders will maintain the infrastructure established in the project, and undertake long-term weed control. They will use photo-points to monitor riparian vegetation condition in the project area to improve water quality in the Logan catchment by improving riparian vegetation condition and connectivity in Teviot Brook.
