Council, in collaboration with the Parramatta River Catchment Group, is working with a specialist consultant to make recommendations for improvements to water quality, mangroves and saltmarsh habitats and seawall along Tarban Creek in Riverglade Reserve.
The recommendations will provide the basis for detailed concept designs, which can be used to seek grant funding for specific projects for the next 10 to 20 years.
Tarban Creek within Riverglade Reserve is a section of approximately 350 metres of natural channel transitioning from freshwater in the upper reaches to a tidal creek in its lower reaches.
The creek is within a vegetated riparian zone approximately 100m wide, located between an upstream concrete-lined channel and a downstream bay with constructed sea walls; situated within a broader parkland reserve which includes a playground, walking path, and playing fields; and has a high habitat value, including use by a flying fox colony and freshwater and tidal aquatic habitat.
The creek is located within a highly valued bushland corridor and is an active bushcare site. The creek has also had a series of improvement works over many years, including: turtle habitat; saltmarsh restoration works; a constructed wetland to treat water from the adjacent development; a viewing platform area; and the expansion of native riparian planting.
There are opportunities to build on the successful works that have been undertaken to date. A summary of the proposed works to Tarban Creek is shown in the interactive map.
Council is currently seeking feedback from the community to understand what infrastructure is needed to improve water quality at Tarban Creek.
Feedback will be accepted until 5pm on Friday 19 December.
This consultation is part of the Parramatta River Bank Naturalisation and Priority Corridors project, funded by DCCEEW.
