Brushy Creek is a small tributary that rises in urban Mooroolbark and passes mostly through an urban catchment. A number of issues have had a negative impact on the creek, including urban stormwater run-off, bed and bank erosion, loss of native vegetation and aquatic habitat, barriers to fish and fauna passage and weed infestations.
Improvement works: Recent works have included stabilisation of the bed and banks of the creek, weed control and replanting. Extensive works have been carried out on the creek through Barngeong Reserve in Croydon to control erosion and reinstate habitat, including a replanting program.
