Upper
Kin Kin Creek Restoration Project
Australian Government Envirofund (start
November 2007)
The aim of this project is to assist
members of the Friends of Kin Kin
Creek to maintain the continuity of
environmental restoration works being
undertaken on their properties which
fall in the upper Kin Kin Creek catchment
area. Initially 8 properties will
be targeted and support and advice
will be given for weed removal, native
plant regeneration, revegetation,
erosion issues and fencing.
The Noosa River has a total catchment
area of 784.3 square kilometers, of
which the Kin Kin Creek Catchment
is 267.7 square kilometers. This is
just over one third of Noosa River’s
entire catchment. The headwaters of
Kin Kin Creek is surrounded by State
Forest to the west, much of which
is in excellent condition, and flows
into Lake Cootharaba (the start of
the estuarine waters of the Noosa
River) to the east, and provides a
crucial role for connectivity of altitudinal
and linear corridors. The catchment
has a tremendous potential for recovery,
due to the proximity of a diverse
seed source, high rainfall and a changing
demographic.
