The Spine Street Park site is bound by the Centenary Highway, the Ipswich Rail line, Wolston Road and Spine Street.

Bullockhead Creek forms a semicircle through the middle and therefore the area is prone to flash flooding and has recovered well from floods over the past few years.

Although surrounded by industrial development, the area contains high environmental values and is an amazingly quiet tranquil spot to do some Bushcare or to walk through. While sitting near the creek to have a cuppa after Bushcare you can hear the sounds of birds and the wind blowing through the canopy and you will see the occasional bush turkey wandering past.

Since 2018 this site has been maintained by extensive weeding and planting projects with work funded by the BCC Community Conservation Assistance Program, Lord Mayor’s environment grants program and recently bush regeneration projects funded from Public Works Orders and supported by the Creek Catchment Program.

Dedicated volunteer bush carers work regularly on this site to rescue small native plants that have grown naturally, and place tree covers around them. This will help them to grow more quickly and stop the kangaroos nibbling on the new shoots.

Spine Street Park has also had weeding and planting conducted through funding from a Public Works Order. The Students Catchment Immersion Program (SCIP) is a Queensland University of Technology volunteer program, partnered with Brisbane City Council to participate in this work during 2024.

Removal of rubbish from the creek and banks amongst the weeds is a constant task. WaCC doesn’t expect its volunteers to take rubbish away, but some volunteers are eager to get it out of the area because it is such an eyesore and harmful to the animals and birds. It also becomes a hazard to people who walk through the area and to our bush carers.
