Project Partners

Council has partnered with Port of Brisbane and Council of Mayors’ (SEQ) Resilient Rivers Initiative to co-fund the creek restoration project for Downfall Creek in 7th Brigade Park.

Port of Brisbane

The Port of Brisbane approached Council to partner in a waterway management project aimed at mitigating erosion and reducing sediment loads to Moreton Bay as part of the Port of Brisbane off-site stormwater quality scheme.

The Downfall Creek Restoration Project supports the Port of Brisbane’s broader objective of working with stakeholders to encourage the adoption of offsite stormwater management solutions more widely across south-east Queensland. Over the long-term, reduced sediment pollution will improve the health of regional and local waterways and the Brisbane River while reducing the maintenance dredging task for Port of Brisbane.

Council of Mayors’ (SEQ) Resilient Rivers Initiative

Council is also partnering with the Council of Mayors’ (SEQ) Resilient Rivers Initiative who are contributing funding from their Resilient Rivers Catchment Investment Program. The Resilient Rivers Initiative was launched in December 2014 with the aim of improving the health of SEQ’s waterways by delivering a coordinated approach to catchment management to ensure future economic, social and environmental health of the region.
