QEII National Trust Covenant Supports Long-Term Protection of Bullock Creek Hatchery Springs

Friends of Bullock Creek (FOBC) is highlighting the significance of the QEII National Trust covenant placed over the Bullock Creek Hatchery Springs - a key step in securing the long-term protection and rehabilitation of this ecologically important site.

The QEII covenant ensures the land is legally protected for conservation purposes, preserving the natural character of the springs and surrounding habitats for generations to come. This protection has provided a crucial foundation for FOBC’s ongoing restoration efforts in the area.

Over recent years, FOBC volunteers have worked steadily to remove invasive species, reintroduce native vegetation, improve water flow, and restore habitat throughout the Hatchery Springs site. The results are increasingly evident: healthier waterways, flourishing native plantings, and a steadily recovering environment.

Images below show the remarkable progress made, from the early stages of rehabilitation to the vibrant, restored landscape taking shape today.

FOBC is proud to continue its stewardship of this special place, made possible by the enduring protection of the QEII National Trust covenant.
