Barongarook Creek Green Links Project

About the project

The project will restore Barongarook Creek, a heavily degraded waterway into a thriving natural and community asset, building on past successful creek restoration undertaken by Council.

The project will remove weeds and re-establish native vegetation across 11.7 hectares of creek frontage, connecting previous restoration sites and remnant native vegetation/habitat.

This project will be transformational for Barongarook Creek and will be a great opportunity to strengthen partnerships with our delivery partners Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and the Central Otway Landcare Network and engage with the community and foster community stewardship through planting days and educational workshops.

What is Green Links?

Green Links is a $10 million investment to improve habitat, water quality, and provide cool green spaces for communities around our urban creeks, rivers and waterways.

The program aims to fund up to 200 hectares of revegetation projects over 3 years. Green Links builds on work underway to protect our iconic urban waterways from inappropriate development and complements the aspirations of Traditional Owners and the community for our waterways.
