The Bayside Environmental Network (BEN) was formed in 1991 and in 2006 changed it’s name to the Bayside Creeks Catchment Group to recognise the group’s focus on improving catchment and waterway health in the Wynnum, Lota and Lower Tingalpa Creek catchments.
|
The overall aim of the Bayside Creeks Catchment Group is to protect and enhance the health and natural processes of Wynnum, Lota and Lower Tingalpa Creeks and their catchments. This also means identifying threatening processes in these catchments and devising actions to reduce their impacts. The health of the catchments is under pressure due to increased development and other human impacts. The Bayside Creeks Catchment Group has formed in response to the need to look after these precious areas.
