QE2 Covenant for Bullock Creek Wetlands

EXCITING NEWS!

A QE2 Covenant over the Otago Fish & Game Council owned wetlands of Bullock Creek has been registered on the land title. Look out for the QE2 signs at both ends of the boardwalk. The spring fed wetlands of Bullock Creek are now protected from development in perpetuity.

Thanks to the Otago Fish & Game Council and Paul van Klink wearing his F&G hat, for making this happen.

Essentially the purpose of the QE2 covenant are:

  • protect and enhance the Wetlands with native flora and fauna,

  • protect indigenous biodiversity,

  • restore indigenous vegetation,

  • protect the source of Bullock Creek for freshwater fish spawning and rearing,

  • maintain & enhance landscape value and
