This Park is in a very degraded site due to earlier usage during the construction and growth of the suburb. This has resulted in significant habitat disturbance with less mature trees and few hollows suitable for nesting.

Residents lobbied for a Bushcare group to look after this strip of land next to Newcomb Park in 2021 and WaCC agreed to gain Council approval and take on the site.

Nearby residents have been working with WaCC over time to conduct regular Working Bees. One regular WaCC volunteer works onsite most days of the week.

WaCC has sourced plants from a nursery run by Save Our Waterways Now (SOWN) and through our BCC Creek Catchment Program. Our Catchment Officer has provided great support with tools, plants, and advice on weed management. There was a dense plantation of Leucaena onsite but through diligent work by our volunteeres about two thirds of the plants have been removed and the place is starting to regain lost ground.

The plantings have been supplied via a BCC Public Works Order are growing fast.
