Mihi Creek

Information from  City of Ipswich Waterway Health Strategy, 2020

The Mihi sub-catchment is 5.9km2 in area and is entirely within the Ipswich LGA. The catchment drains the ridgeline which separates the Bremer and Brisbane River catchments, and flows into the estuarine section of the Bremer River in Brassall, downstream of Albion Street Bridge.

While the upper section of the sub-catchment is wooded rural lands, the majority of the catchment is urban residential. A continuous riparian corridor exists which sits within a zoned linear recreation zone. The creek is comprised of a mixture of natural and constructed channel forms. Severe gully erosion in the northwest section of the upper sub-catchment is impacting the waterway.

 

There are a number of environmental partnerships in the sub-catchment that enable community-driven improvement and ownership of the waterway.
