Painkalac Creek corridor restoration
In 2018 Council started replanting the eastern bank of Painkalac Creek, north of Butlers bend. Over the years the first 1km of creek frontage has been planted and is now a well established corridor of trees and shrubs.
This project is continuing in 2024 with the planting of additional trees and shrubs along the creek frontage to the north of the existing works.
The plantings aim to improve the habitat values of this wildlife corridor and make the system more resilient to climate change by providing shade along the creek and more complex habitat opportunities.
These works complement community plantings on adjoining land.
