A draft of detailed restoration plans for Brisbane City’s Oxley Creek will be released today by Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, following council’s plan to convert the flood-prone creek into Brisbane’s largest parkland.
Councillor Quirk says the Oxley Creek transformation project is the first step in revitalising the creek corridor into a 1000-hectare world-class green, lifestyle and leisure destination.
Activities such as horse riding, canoeing, kayaking, walking, cycling, bird watching are all planned for the new parkland, with the potential of an international-standard equestrian and/or regatta centre also in the plans.
The draft plan is open to community feedback until May 27.
