  • Peaks to Points Festival Report 2016
    PEAKS TO POINTS Festival 2016 PEAKS TO POINTS FESTIVAL 2016 16 - 31 July 2016 FOREWORD The fifth Peaks to Points Festival was bigger and better than before. Over its 16 days some 3600 people enjoyed a mix of 45 activities and events at 37 locations on the southside of the Brisbane River. The Festival was initially conceived as the Oxley Creek Water Festival. In 2007 it was extended across the southside of the Brisbane River and the Peaks to Points Festival was born. The name celebrates the corridor of natural areas from Flinders Peak in the west, the source of Oxley Creek, to all the points on Moreton Bay south of the Brisbane River mouth - Point Halloran, Wellington Point and Victoria Point to name but a few. This year’s Festival followed the same approach as the inaugural Festival. It highlighted the issues facing the creek catchments in the area – Oxley Creek, Bulimba Creek, Norman Creek, Wolston/Centenary, Bayside and creeks in the Ipswich area – through showcasing the activities of the environmental and community groups working to improve our creeks and natural areas. through the Festival Family Day, workshops, walks, plantings, forums, nature journaling. The tours to the Oxley Sewage Treatment Plant and the Rochedale Landfill showcased key industries and demonstrated the highly technical processes involved in managing our wastes and protecting our environment. There was excellent attendance at many of the events, with some activities such as the native bee workshop and the bus tour to the Greenbank Military Training Area fully-subscribed. The Festival reached a wide audience spread across a large geographic area.

  • Festivals Introduction
    FESTIVALS INTRODUCTION With a creek length of 70km and covering a total area of some 260 square kilometres, the Oxley Creek catchment is the largest of the creek catchments feeding into the Brisbane River. Beginning in the Flinders Peak area, Oxley Creek and its tributaries wend their way in a generally northward direction through suburbs including Spring Mountain, Greenbank, Forestdale, Algester, Acacia Ridge, Inala, Coopers Plains, Moorooka, Oxley, Corinda, Sherwood and Graceville before finally reaching the Brisbane River at Tennyson. The Oxley Creek Environment Group (OCEG) was the first community organisation formed to improve the health of Oxley Creek and its natural areas through hands-on actions. In 1995 it was suggested that a Catchment Association be formed with the aim of caring for Oxley Creek and the lands in the catchment cooperatively with State and local governments, industry and the community. So began the Oxley Creek Catchment Association (OCCA). In the meantime, OCEG recognised that the community had a low level of awareness of the issues affecting the catchment, its natural areas and fauna and flora. A strategic review identified that awareness could be increased through social activities and it was decided to hold an annual festival and so the Oxley Creek Water Festival was born. Since 1997, the Oxley Creek Water Festival, and later the Peaks to Points Festival, has been the major environmental involvement and education event on Brisbane’s southside, raising awareness about natural areas in a fun and interactive manner. The festivals have evolved over the years but have always had the aim of increasing public awareness of the importance of waterways and natural areas.

  • Ipswich Nature Conservation Strategy 2015
    City of Ipswich Nature Conservation Strategy 2015 Ipswich.qld.gov.au IPSWICH CITY COUNCIL’S FLORA AND FAUNA EMBLEMS Plunkett Mallee Eucalyptus curtisii The Plunkett Mallee Eucalytpus curtisii is the Ipswich City Council floral emblem. This small |growing eucalypt occurs in scattered populations throughout South-East Queensland. In Ipswich, natural populations occur in Dinmore, Collingwood Park and the White Rock area. It was selected as the council floral emblem due to its rarity and the vulnerability of its existence as a natural flora species. Being a small eucalypt, growing to approximately six meters in height, it is suited to most gardens and as a street tree for under wires. Its clusters of cream flowers during spring make it an ideal species for attracting wildlife. Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby Petrogale penicillata A skilled and agile climber, this medium sized wallaby is at home on the most rugged of peaks and escarpments. Once more widespread, this threatened species is now found locally at only a handful of sites within the Flinders – Goolman Conservation Estate. There, on the weathered remains of volcanic peaks, it browses on grasses and shrubs, and shelters on ledges and in small caves. As the largest threatened species within the city and a skilled inhabitant of the most rugged of natural environments, the Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby makes a fitting faunal emblem and mascot for the City of Ipswich.
