Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Realignment and reprofiling of river bank to create a meander; creation of a fishing pond; habitat management to improve visibility and access along the river; improve the footpaths along the river. To improve the local area; to improve and restore the river and riverbanks to enhance the natural state of the stream and encourage indigenous flora and fauna to develop; to provide access and amenity value as well and improve views of the river. It is part of Surry Green Arc improvements. Phase 1 on the adjacent stretch of the Bonesgate was chosen as an exemplary project for the Green Arc.
