Events & Activities

There are many ways that the catchment group assists the community to enhance the local environment, including helping private landowners to restore and revegetate their property. We hold a number of events during the year to promote the Catchment Group and to encourage understanding of our catchment area.

There are many ways that you can become involved in the activities. Follow the links below for more information.

Ongoing Activity

Cottage Talks

The popular Third Thursday Talks at the Cottage have covered topics as varied as local bats, bees, beetles and butterflies, botanical art and dung beetles, figs and frogs, grasses and gliders, lichen and lungfish, native plant ID and photography, snails and water quality.

Monthly working bees on public waterways

Regular working bees on public waterways involving clearing of weeds, and planting of native vegetation are an integral activity of MCCG.

Rehabilitation of private land

MCCG has been concerned for many years about the lack of support for private landholders given that their land represents such a large proportion of the catchment. MCCG can provide plants and expertise to assist landowners to restore their land to a more natural native environment.

The MCCG Cottage

The Cottage at the end of Gap Creek Road is open every Thursday from 9.30am – 12noon (except holidays and Christmas- New Year season), and houses a comprehensive library and other useful resources.

Annual Events

Kids’ Day at The Cottage

This very popular annual event has a focus is on activities that engage, entertain and inform children about their local environment and its biodiversity. All activities are FREE for children thanks to volunteer expert presenters and workers.

Platypus Survey

Each year in September, a group of volunteer ‘platy-watchers’ gathers before sunrise at the Brookfield Showgrounds prior to heading off to observation posts on Moggill and Gold Creeks. They spend an hour or so at their appointed site then return to the Showgrounds to deliver their results and share a BBQ breakfast provided by MCCG.

Special Projects

The group is also involved in a number of special projects aimed at either improving the environment – such as our revegetation projects – or understanding more about the catchment area – such as our Bird Project and our Creek Monitoring Project.
