Burra Creek

The Burra Creek Floodplain Management Project will improve the connections between the river, creek, wetlands and floodplain. It will help to protect and enhance key native floodplain and wetland species. The project aims to restore a seasonal aquatic habitat to Burra Creek and improve floodplain productivity, which will support populations of fauna such as bats and sugar gliders. The project is also focusing on improving the health of the red gum and black box trees which are of ecological importance
