Title: Implementation of Sullivans Creek Catchment Management Plan
Program: Murray-Darling 2001
Description: This project will implement the first stages of the Sullivans Creek Catchment Management Plan (SCCMP). This project will implement plans to retro-fit two constructed demonstration urban wetlands adjacent to the tributary draining the O'Connor sub-catchment in the ACT. The wetlands will be located adjacent to David Street and Banksia Street in O'Connor. This project will also implement plans to break-out 250 metres of the sides of the concrete channel of the tributary and plant grasses and shrubs to stabilise the channel. DUS and ANU are partners on the project. $165,000 of cash funds have been sourced by Sullivans Creek Catchment Group from the corporate sector, to implement the project. The other on-ground component in the project is the rehabilitation of a 10 hectare saline area in Crace Nature Reserve, Lyneham. Lyneham High School is a partner in this project. Planning for future on-ground work and consultation/education strategies will also be implemented.
Funding: (2000/2001) $138,678
