The project involved installation of a litter trap within a 1m deep, concrete-lined creek to improve water quality and capture debris. Works also included construction of a crushed rock hardstand with turning circle and a concrete maintenance access track to support safe access and ongoing maintenance. At the existing culvert, rock beaching was installed for erosion protection and stability, along with guard rail to improve site safety and protect maintenance personnel.
