SOWN ENOGGERA CATCHMENT PLAN
Background and Context
The SOWN Management Committee will guide and make decisions about the preparation of the plan.
In the current context of Covid19 restrictions, we need to maximise opportunities for input by SOWN group leaders, active members and key partners and stakeholders by using the SOWN website and social media applications.
Objectives of the Plan
- To rehabilitate and maintain the environmental health of Enoggera Catchment waterways;
- To rehabilitate and maintain linked bushland areas along waterways;
- To protect and improve biodiversity in the catchment;
- To respond to the impacts of climate change;
- To encourage community participation, awareness and education in SOWN activities;
- To identify policies and priority actions for SOWN.
Time Horizon and Area Covered
The plan will have a 10 year time horizon and include a 5 year action plan that can be reviewed annually.
The geographic area covered by the plan will be the whole of the Enoggera catchment area. The attached map shows the Enoggera catchment in the context of the Brisbane City area.
This includes the National Park upstream of the Enoggera Reservoir and the tidal reaches of the creek downstream of Bancroft Park weir..
