Adelong Creek Riparian Stabilisation Work

Creek sites.jpg

Council has secured funding from the NSW Severe Weather and Flood Grant, provided by the NSW Office of Local Government, to clear debris along Adelong Creek’s public recreation areas and to design and repair the creek bank, reducing erosion and protecting native wildlife habitats.

The work will focus on two areas along the creek, one near the end of Selwyn Street and another behind the Adelong Showgrounds.

Planned works include:

  • Strengthening the creek bank with large timber and/or rock to prevent further erosion.
  • Removing invasive plants and restoring native vegetation.
  • Improving water quality and habitat for native wildlife.
  • Making the area safer and more visually appealing.
  • Providing better protection against minor flood events.

Council has engaged NSW Soil Con to carry out the works. A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) is currently being prepared, with approvals being sought from the relevant regulatory bodies.
