Oxley Creek Transformation Pty Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brisbane City Council) has prepared a draft Master Plan for a $100 million Project to ‘revitalise this corridor, transforming it into a world-class green lifestyle and leisure destination’.
Four priority projects proposed for the short to medium-term (0-10 years) are listed below:
- Multi-use trials along 20 km of Oxley Creek (from Larapinta to Tennyson)
- Oxley Creek Common Bird Sanctuary
- Archerfield Wetlands Parkland and Oxley Creek Recreation and Interpretive Centre at Archerfield Wetlands
- Nature-based Adventure Park at Larapinta
Two strategic plans prioritised for the short-term and on-going:
Strategic Corridor Restoration Plan
- to direct rehabilitation efforts to ensure environmental benefits across the whole of Oxley Creek corridor.
Sustainable Economic Development Strategy
- environmentally friendly economic hubs within, and along the edge of the Oxley Creek corridor will help fund its ongoing transformation.
