The Oxford Road Water Quality and Habitat Project will rehabilitate existing native bushland and create sustainable nature-based solutions to land management to stop soil erosion and sedimentation.
This project will improve water quality downstream, enhance wildlife habitats and increase carbon storage in the urban landscape, supporting healthy waterways and a healthy community.
This will be achieved by working closely with the local community, understanding their needs and acknowledging their unique connection and understanding of their local place – recognising that the community will become the legacy holders of the area.
Enhancing spaces like the catchment at Oxford Road builds community appreciation and support for the natural features that keep our environment healthy. Protecting the catchments of our local waterways also helps protect the Great Barrier Reef.Overall aims:
- To rehabilitate existing stormwater facilities to stop soil erosion and sedimentation, create sustainable nature-based solutions to land management, improve water quality downstream, enhance wildlife habitats and increase carbon storage in the urban landscape.
- Increase community involvement in waterway appreciation, understanding and management.
