Cox Creek Bridgewater restoration 12 month project update
2025 was a significant year for Cox Creek.
Council is working with the community and key partners to secure a healthier future for a 6km stretch of Cox Creek, extending from Mount George Conservation Park to Engelbrook Reserve. This project plays an important role in improving water quality, strengthening biodiversity, and enhancing the resilience of the catchment for the benefit of both the environment and the community.
The project focuses on three key priorities:
- Weed control to reduce environmental pressures
- Native revegetation to restore habitat and support wildlife
- Bank stabilisation to protect the creek and improve long-term waterway health
A 12-month project update has now been published, outlining progress to date and next steps in restoring this important local waterway.
This project is funded by the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust under the Urban Rivers and Catchments Program, with the support of Adelaide Hills Council and stakeholders including Bridgewater Friends of Cox Creek, Trees for Life, Arbury Park Outdoor School, National Parks and Wildlife, National Trust South Australia, dedicated volunteers, and private landholders.
