Johnstons Creek was in need of repair. Instead of replacing the channel like for like with concrete, the creek was naturalised between Rozelle Bay and The Crescent. The project involved:

• Replacing the old concrete banks with sandstone and native plants
• Creating a natural planted stormwater system (wetland) in Federal Park near Dalgal Way
• Expanding the salt marsh around the creek and creating intertidal rock pools
• Creating a boardwalk, paths and new seating replacing the old footbridge near Dalgal way
• Construction started in January 2020 and finished October 2021.
