Pullen Pullen Catchment Group

Pullen Pullen Catchments Group (PPCG) is one of 4,500 community based, volunteer landcare groups in Australia operating under the umbrella of Landcare Australia. The geographical area of the PPCG is defined by the Brisbane River in the south, the D'Aguilar Range in the west and the Mount Elpinstone Range in the north and east. This 55 km2 area includes Pullen Pullen Creek, Pullen Creek and Farm Creek.

 

The broad aim of PPCG is to foster awareness and appreciation within the community of the need to protect the natural environment throughout the catchment and to help conserve Australia's unique flora and fauna.

 

The Brisbane City Council and federal and state governments provide assistance to the PPCG at various levels. BCC's Habitat Brisbane Program supports our bushcare groups. Other sources of funding include The National Heritage Trust Grants Program, The Gaming Benefit Fund and The Brisbane City Council Environmental Grants Program.
