Benefits
  • Protect and enhance an important platypus habitat.
  • Improve water quality through native planting and weed removal.
  • Stabilise creek banks to reduce erosion and support long‑term creek health.
  • Create a more resilient natural environment for wildlife.

Wendon Way is home to a vibrant mix of native plants and wildlife. Over time, the creek banks have worn down, and weeds have grown in the creek. Our project will restore creek health, improve water quality and create a better habitat for native wildlife

The works will stabilise the creek banks, remove invasive weeds and plant more native vegetation.

These improvements will support a cleaner, healthier waterway and help protect an important platypus area.
