Norman Creek 2012-2031 Project

Brisbane City Council's revolutionary Norman Creek 2012-2031 project aims to return the Norman Creek catchment to a more natural state and revitalise it to be an environmental and recreational asset.

This project covers an entire catchment of almost 30 square kilometres. It is the first whole of catchment urban water resources management project in Australia and will draw together all existing plans, ideas and rehabilitation activities to create a ‘big picture’ guide for the future of the catchment.

Norman Creek 2012-2031 is not just about rejuvenating local waterways. This project has been designed to achieve multiple outcomes for the city including:

• strengthening our economy
• improving access and inclusion for all residents
• making the city cleaner and greener

The project goals focus on:

• improvements to the health of the waterways and ecosystems
• sport and recreation opportunities
• living with Brisbane’s climate – flood and drought
• strengthening community connections (physical and social) within the catchment

Council's vision for the Norman Creek catchment is to create a place with:

• bikeways and footpaths connected to waterways
• accessible boardwalks and viewing platforms
• improved park and recreation spaces alongside creeks and healthy waterways
• shady sub-tropical habitats
• homes, buildings and neighbourhoods that are designed with water in mind and are resilient during times of drought and flood

Norman Creek 2012-2031 will work towards creating a water smart community that is engaged in water issues.
