Oxley Creek Transformation

Link copied

The Oxley Creek Transformation project will transform Oxley Creek into a world-class, green lifestyle and leisure destination.

The Oxley Creek Transformation will see Oxley Creek become a world-class, green lifestyle and leisure destination. 

We are investing $100 million in this 20-year (2017-37) project to transform the Oxley Creek corridor from the Brisbane River to Larapinta.

The project will create a significant natural environment and community leisure legacy for Brisbane.  

The project is being delivered on behalf of Council by Brisbane Sustainability Agency, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Council.

The key goals are to:

  • reduce the impact of industry and development on the creek and its surrounds 
  • help the area to cope with floods 
  • create green spaces and multi-use parkland 
  • attract investment 
  • collaborate with different businesses, industries, government and community.

Warril Parkland, Larapinta

Stage 1 of our nature-based playground with waterplay and picnic facilities is now open. You can also walk along the lakeside boardwalk and pontoon and enjoy birdwatching near the lake. Future stages of the parkland will improve access to a large lake system located north of the new nature-play area.

Archerfield Wetlands

The Archerfield Wetlands Precinct Plan helped to transform 150 hectares of underutilised green space into a new public parkland that balances environmental and community needs.

Archerfield Wetlands District Park includes:

  • a large adventure play space with water play features
  • a youth hub with basketball court
  • a bookable community hall
  • an event lawn
  • a bush resources garden
  • access to the Archerfield Wetlands Discovery Trail, which offers birdwatching, bushwalking and off-road cycling opportunities. 

Graceville Riverside Parklands

We’re planning new upgrades including a water activity hub, larger pontoon and improved picnic areas.

Oxley Creek Common

Our investment will enhance and expand this habitat to attract more native fauna species, particularly birds, and support more plant species. 

The Greenway

The Greenway route follows the majority of Oxley Creek Common. It’s becoming one of Brisbane’s most popular walking and cycling trails. Improvements will provide easy access to side trails for bushwalking, birdwatching and cycling networks.

Some sections of the future Greenway have already been delivered. These include the Archerfield Wetlands Discovery Trail at Archerfield Wetlands Parkland and the Sea-eagle Lake Trail at Warril Parkland.

Oxley Creek land corridor 

The Corridor Restoration Project aims to improve the environmental health of Oxley Creek and its bordering land corridor.

Local habitat, vegetation and waterway health will all be restored and enhanced for the community to enjoy.
