Mabel Park Waterway Naturalisation
About the project
The Mabel Park Waterway Naturalisation Project aims to reconnect Slacks Creek to the natural environment and the community.
Please click here if you would like to view the project area map.
The revegetation project aims to improve habitat quality for native aquatic and land species, as well as establishing community connection with the waterway.
Around 600 metres of Council-owned land, including a 200-metre concrete-lined channel, will be restored after concrete is removed. Weed work will also occur, with native plants and key habitat features being introduced.
Local community members are being asked for their input to enable better connections with the waterway.
The $1.375 million project is co-funded by Logan City Council and the Australian Government.
