Group convenors: Renee McGlasan & Ed Bennett
On the northern bank of Enoggera Creek, the Yoorala Street East site runs from Elgata Street, past the Community Garden to the cul-de-sac end of Yoorala Street.
Work on the Yoorala Street East bushcare site began in 1995 with group leaders Vera and Fred Moffett, followed by Stella Field and Petra Skoien. Recent key projects include the 2022 planting of 3,000 plants following Healthy Land and Water-funded weed removal along the creek line, strengthening the boundary edge of the park. In 2023, another major weed-tree removal project saw large numbers of Chinese Elms and Cocos Palms removed and replaced.
Yoorala Street East is one of the six bushcare sites which comprise The Gap Rainforest Project. See The Gap Rainforest Statement of Significance PDF here.
Renee McGlashan and Ed Bennett, who also lead the group at Yoorala St West, became group coordinators in 2021.
This bushcare site is supported by the Brisbane City Council Habitat Brisbane program. Regular working bees are held Friday mornings every fortnight. For more information please contact Renee & Ed at: yooralastreetwest.bushcare@gmail.com
