25. Kedron Brook Catchment overview
Kedron Brook's headwaters begin in Brisbane Forest Park in the
west, and flows east through the northern suburbs of Brisbane. The
waterway flows past the airport via Schultz Canal and the Kedron
Brook Floodway to enter Moreton Bay between Nudgee Beach and
Eagle Farm.
Although the majority of the catchment is urban residential land,
there are significant bushland and wetland areas, as well as small
pockets of industrial and agricultural area. Kedron Brook has
significant amounts of parkland along the Brook with the Kedron
Brook Bikeway following the majority of the Brook's length.
Here are some initiatives that are happening in this catchment
to assist Council in achieving a Well designed city, Healthy
river and bay and Sustainable water use:
Gully reconstruction
Major drainage projects
Stormwater drainage rehabilitation
Catchment Creek Ranger Project

around water quality, in-stream health and creek corridor health.
The data is collected at 48 sites around the site.
