Reedy Creek Reserve
History
The coast of south-east Queensland is subject to extensive land clearing for residential and recreational development. In a cooperative partnership with a local developer, Sunrise@1770, part of the donated property is being used for environmentally-sensitive residential housing in order to fund the management and protection of the remainder, with no more than 2% of the entire site being cleared.
Flora and fauna
The reserve contains open Corymbia woodland, Melaleuca forest, wallum heath communities, Pandanus-lined wetlands and cabbage palms. Recorded animal species of conservation significance include the beach stone-curlew, grey goshawk, delicate mouse and Dunmall's snake. A beach adjacent to the reserve is a breeding area for the endangered loggerhead turtle and will be managed by BHA.
