This project is part of the on-ground implementation of the Upper Teviot Brook Sub-catchment Management Project, an initiative supported by project partners Seqwater, Scenic Rim Regional Council, Scenic Rim Rivers Improvement Trust, and the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country program.

The project will control weeds, restore native vegetation and stabilise eroding banks over 4.3ha of Teviot Brook and two tributaries, which will contribute to improved water quality and riparian health in the sub-catchment. The environmental benefit will include areas featuring endangered Regional Ecosystem 12.3.3 ‘Eucalyptus tereticornis woodland to open forest on alluvial plains’ and other significant Regional Ecosystems classified under 12.9-10.7.

As part of this project:

• 4.3ha of riparian weed control will be undertaken to protect and restore native vegetation (target species include cat’s claw vine and Chinese elm)
• soil conservation earthworks and re-vegetation will be carried out to stabilise a creek bank erosion site.

Landholders will maintain the infrastructure established in the project, and undertake long-term weed control. They will use photo-points to monitor riparian vegetation condition in the project area to improve water quality in the Logan catchment by improving riparian vegetation condition and connectivity in Teviot Brook.

This project will:

• facilitate the uptake of sustainable land management practices by increasing landholder’s knowledge and skills in natural resource management.
