The Moggill Creek Catchment Group

Moggill Creek Catchment Group (MCCG) is a volunteer community action group aiming to conserve and improve the local environment of our catchment on both private and public land. Projects include riparian zone revegetation and the planting of native flora species on private land.

Supported by the Brisbane City Council (BCC) and Brisbane Forest Park, 13 working groups were established to coordinate tasks in 13 sub-catchment areas.

As a relatively small community group we can do little about the bigger picture but we can take steps to improve our own local area. We in the MCCG are working hard to address environmental problems in this area of western Brisbane. We have taken up the challenge to 'think globally and act locally'.

Private landholders have contributed significantly to MCCG's objectives. Their input has seen 14 Voluntary Conservation Agreements negotiated for Moggill Creek catchment. Landholders also involve themselves in extensive replanting of native species.

The MCCG vision for the Moggill creek catchment and neighbouring catchments is to conserve and enhance the environmental values in the region, recognising that these catchments interlink to provide a "range to river corridor", vital not only to the fauna and flora within the catchments, but also to the rivers and Moreton Bay.

MCCG's priorities:

Rehabilitating Habitat Corridors
Managing Exotic Weeds
Improving Water Quality
Managing Fire Risks
