Habitat Restoration for Endangered Species
A project funded by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI), 2025-2027. The goal of this project is to enhance long-term survival prospects for two species at risk within the Pullen Pullen Catchments area: the platypus and the collared delma.
Collared Delma Habitat Enhancement projects
Pullen Pullen Catchments Group continues to work towards enhancing habitat for the threatened legless lizard, the Collared Delma (Delma torquata), which is known to occur in the western suburbs of Brisbane, including in Anstead Bushland Reserve. We have been a joint partner in two major projects funded by the Australian Government designed to enhance habitat for the Collared Delma and our bushcare group, Friends of Anstead Bushland, holds regular bushcare sessions in Anstead Bushland Reserve during which volunteers contribute to ongoing habitat restoration work.
2025 People of Post Grant
We are excited to announce that we are a 2025 ‘People of Post’ Grant recipient. PPCG will monitor water quality to support the survival of platypus populations.
2024-25 Lord Mayor’s Environment Grant
PPCG has recently completed the project ‘Ecological restoration in Anstead Bushland Reserve’, which was funded by Brisbane City Council through a Lord Mayor’s Environment Grant. This project significantly reduced weed coverage in a high-visibility area of Anstead Bushland Reserve and shared knowledge on local weeds and native flora with the local community.
2024 People of Post Grant
PPCG are excited to announce that we are an Australia Post ‘2024 People of Post’ Grant recipient. PPCG will purchase tree measurement and carbon sequestration equipment to enable key tree dimensions and growth rates to be efficiently and accurately determined from trees planted over 25 years ago.
Waterwatch
Pullen Pullen Catchments group has become involved in Waterwatch. This program encourages collaboration between governments, universities and industries to assist communities to assess catchment health via the quality of the water in the main creeks of the catchment and to address problems if necessary.
Groups
Bushcare Groups
Pullen Pullen Catchments Group, in collaboration with the Brisbane City Council, currently coordinates three local Bushcare groups to assist with the care of Council-controlled public land in the catchments. These operate in Anstead Bushland Reserve, Pullenvale Forest Park and Woodward Place Park, with regular bushcare sessions throughout the year.
Communications, Education and Data
In keeping with Pullen Pullen Creek Catchments Group’s objective to facilitate educational, cultural and environmental awareness in the community, communications, education and data collection activities are regularly undertaken.
Nursery
Members of the Pullen Pullen Catchments Group are entitled to access locally sourced and grown native plants from the Moggill Creek Catchment Group nursery in Brookfield. For more information see the Moggill Creek Catchment Group website.
