Urban Riparian Corridor Restoration at Oxley Creek Common - Project 2

This project involves the planting and maintenance of 27 000 native shrubs and trees on 6 hectares of the Oxley Creek Common, a unique 115 hectare open space on the lower and highly urbanised reaches of the Oxley Creek. The Oxley Creek Common is key in maintaining a riparian corridor that includes specimens of the endangered Gossia Gonoclada and provides a valuable bird habitat. Over 190 bird species have been recorded at the Oxley Creek Common including Latham’s Snipe, an EPBC Act listed migratory bird species.
This project will assist the rehabilitation of Lowland Riparian Forest with improved habitat connectivity, improved water quality, reduced weeds and enhanced habitat as direct project outcomes.
