St Peters Billabong enhancements support safety and preserve natural habitat

01/04/2026

The St Peters Billabong is a treasured community asset—surrounded by leafy trees and filled with local wildlife, it’s a peaceful spot where families, friends and nature lovers relax and explore.

To protect the natural habitat of the Billabong and ensure the safety of those who visit, a fence has been installed at the top of the Billabong bank. Restricting public access to this area also addresses the risks associated with erosion of the banks and ensures that stability of the banks is not compromised.

The St Peters Billabong and dedicated walking paths remain open to the public and present the ideal location to visit over the Easter long weekend for those seeking some time in nature.
