Mooney Mooney Creek Subcatchment
The Mooney Mooney Creek subcatchment enters the Hawkesbury estuary from the north. The subcatchment is dominated by bushland.
Brisbane Water National Park is located in the lower reaches of Mooney Mooney Creek while the upper reaches are impacted by agricultural and peri-urban development, and some urban development which is restricted to Kariong to the east.
The Mooney Mooney Dam provides water supply to Gosford. Groundwater is extracted from the headwaters of Mooney Mooney Creek. The industrial area at Somersby drains into Piles Creek causing water quality issues. Piles Creek and the tidal reach of Mooney Mooney Creek also have occurrences of bank erosion. There is some inappropriate foreshore usage in areas of the tidal section of Mooney Mooney Creek causing damage to mangrove vegetation. |
