Goodna Creek

Information from  City of Ipswich Waterway Health Strategy, 2020

The Goodna Creek sub-catchment covers only 14km2. The creek flows through the suburbs of Redbank Plains and Collingwood Park, before entering the Lower Brisbane River 5km downstream of the Moggill Ferry crossing.

Land use within the sub-catchment is a mixture of urban, light industrial and bushland, with significant tracts of vegetation retained near the creek within the former Redbank Rifle Range south of the Ipswich Motorway.

The upper reaches of the creek consist of sections of constructed channel and discontinuous chain of ponds.  The lower reaches of the creek exist as a continuous channel with variable widths and some sections with an undefined channel.

The Goodna Sewage Treatment Plant, at the downstream end of the catchment, discharges directly into the Brisbane River.

Indigenous artefacts have been found within the vicinity of Goodna Creek.
