Bushcare activities are carried out from the Cubberla Creek’s headwaters in Chapel Hill to its mouth in Fig Tree Pocket. Tributaries include Gubberley Creek and Little Gubberley Creek. Groups rehabilitate bushland and waterways by removing weeds and planting native vegetation to encourage wildlife use. Cubberla Creek and its tributaries as well as their riparian zone form a core corridor for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife movement between Brisbane River and Mount Coot-tha. This corridor is recognized in CWCN’s Cubberla Creek Connect project. It is an essential part of Brisbane’s biodiversity network and identified as having high ecological value under the Draft City Plan (2014). Apart from CWCN’s own projects and the work Brisbane Girls Grammar does at their sports campus in Fig Tree Pocket, the following groups, registered under BCC’s Habitat Brisbane Program, are working in the catchment:
