Residents are encouraged to plant a tree at Waller Creek,
Kings Langley, to help celebrate the completion of the
$1.1 million rehabilitation project.
Blacktown City Mayor, Stephen Bali MP, said the tree
planting day on Saturday, 24 November from 9 am to 12 pm,
is a great opportunity to get outdoors and see the work
Council is doing.
“The creek has been redesigned to improve functionality,
increase flood mitigation, enhance biodiversity and improve
amenity,” Mayor Bali said.
“All residents should come and take part. We will provide all
the plants and materials needed on the day so all you need
to do is come down and lend a hand.
The rehabilitation project for Waller Creek will help protect
and improve an important waterway within our community.
It will help improve waterway health through the
reestablishment of native flora and fauna and removal of
weeds and accumulated sediment.
As part of the project, sandstone armouring, coir logs, jute
matting and revegetation are now in place to protect the
creek banks from erosion.
Many of the features of the project have come about
following consultations with the local community, including
stepping stones and a frog pond.
The Waller Creek rehabilitation project was part funded by
Council’s stormwater management service charge, and is
one way Council is working with the community towards a
more sustainable and healthy environment.
