SOWN pioneers Trevor Ozanne and Bob Whiteman began planting in this park in 1987, supported by Lord Mayor Sally-Anne Atkinson.
The site is located on the north bank of Enoggera Creek in Corbie Street Park extending to the bridge on Ashgrove Avenue. The group has undertaken weeding, planting and mulching the riparian area. They have installed nest boxes to support local wildlife and are ensuring their plants are flood friendly. The Corbie Park Bushcare Group works the last Saturday of every month from 3 pm to 4 pm in winter and from 4 pm to 5 pm in summer. Happy to have new helpers. This area is part of SOWN’s Re-greening of Three Mile Scrub project.
This bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. For more information please email the group leaders at corbieparkbcg@gmail.com.

Focus of the Corbie Park group
- Installing nest boxes for local wildlife.
- Maintaining the areas that already have been partially revegetated and planting to existing and new areas.
- Establishing through new plantings the connectivity of the vegetation corridor along Enoggera Creek. This will facilitate the interaction of the squirrel glider populations within Corbie Park and those in the creek corridor.
- Placing habitat boxes within the park through government, corporate, resident and local business funding.
- Promoting the awareness of what fauna is present in the park and encouraging people to keep their dogs on the lead and cats at home at night.
- Encouraging intervention on the south side of Enoggera Creek to at least cut the base of all the vines that are slowly killing the established trees downstream of the Ashgrove Avenue bridge.
