Extract from the article by Jeff Sparrow, published Friday 11 September 2020.
We were excited to see Small Creek included in a story about rewilding and naturalisation projects in Australia, published today in The Guardian.
The article quotes our client, Ben Walker, who during his tenure at Ipswich City Council was a true project partner with Landscapology and Bligh Tanner, and a staunch champion of the process and upfront community engagement.

That’s about to change: Small Creek will return to a natural waterway through a terrific Council project. As well as clean water and habitat for wildlife, the new Small Creek will allow for better path and bikeway connections and the opportunity to interact with nature in a parkland setting.
We're kicking off the project with Design Your Creek Week, working on site and learning from the local community. Click to read more and find out how you can be part of the fun.
