The original
Revive Project.
Just kilometres
from the Townsville CBD, the common is one of the most expansive wetland
complexes on Australia’s east coast.
Comprised
primarily of intertidal mangrove swamps, backed by floodplain water
bodies, the area abuts the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
International
migratory bird agreements apply, with 13 of the avifauna being rare or
endangered.
Invasive weeds
will be significantly reduced while significant quantities of native seed
will be collected and propagated, with plenty of local plantings being
planned.Grass Owl habitat
will be improved and public access points maintained.
