We use our estuary management plans to guide our work to care for creeks and lagoons.

Some of the key things we do include:

Bush restoration

Plants play an important role in the health of our waterways. Our staff and volunteers remove weeds and rubbish, and add suitable plants at many creek and estuary sites. Visit our Bushcare page to find out more or join a group.

Bank stabilisation

We use plants and built structures to help keep the banks of creeks stable and prevent erosion. For example, we’ve installed a boat ramp and viewing platform at Towradgi Creek. This supports the bank and lets people enjoy the creek without damaging its edges.

Stormwater devices

We’ve added structures at key creek locations to help trap stormwater rubbish so it doesn’t wash into creeks and onto our beaches. These structures let us more easily remove rubbish and keep our creeks clear.
