Managing Brisbane’s natural areasBrisbane City Council manages more than 8000 hectares of bushland and wetland reserves. To ensure our natural areas provide healthy habitat for native plants and animals, and beautiful places for the community to enjoy, Council has to actively manage these areas. Pressures include weeds, arson, pest animals, unrestrained domestic pets, illegal dumping and unauthorised recreational activities such as trail bike riding.

Report arsonArson, or bushfire started illegally, is a crime and a major threat to all reserve users, reserve neighbours and wildlife. The majority of fires in Brisbane’s bushlands are deliberately lit, or start under suspicious circumstances.

• To report a fire call emergency services on 000 (triple zero).

• To report suspicious behaviour contact Policelink on 13 14 44.

For more information visit www.ag.gov.au/EmergencyManagement

For your safety• Enjoy the forest with a friend (don’t go alone).

• Wear a hat, sunscreen and carry water.

• Wear comfortable footwear if you are going bushwalking.

• Make sure you let someone know where you are going, and when you plan to return.

• Exercise caution when on tracks. Tracks may become muddy after heavy rain.

• Take a track map or use your mobile phone to download a map from www.brisbane.qld.gov.au

• Carry a mobile phone. In an emergency dial 000 or 112 (or text 106 if you have a Teletyper device) as full mobile coverage may not be present in all areas.

Whites Hill ReserveWhites Hill Reserve is a bushland remnant that protects open eucalypt forest and a small patch of rainforest. Growing along Salvin Creek, the rainforest known as Sankey’s Scrub supports some rare plant species. As the name suggests, the reserve is named after Whites Hill, the site of Robert White’s residence, which became a popular teahouse and venue for dances and weddings in the early 1900s.

When visiting the reserve you can enjoy a walk on one of the walking tracks, have a picnic or barbeque, take children to the playground or play games in the area known as The Common.
