The draft Concept Plan proposes to:

• create safe access on the northern bank utilising rocks and logs to create natural steps down to the creek

• stabilise the northern bank with rocks set in mortar to prevent erosion

• place large rocks as stepping stones near the creek’s edge for nature play

• plant new native trees and shrubs on the northern bank above the high water mark to revegetate the disturbed slope
and provide habitat and amenity

• remove the existing weir and infill the deep section of the creek bed adjacent the “beach area” to eliminate stagnant water during the drier months

• undertake minor work to repair damaged or missing stone facing on the existing southern bank.
