The boating events, called bathtub races, were among the most popular at the creeklands carnival.</image:caption>

The drainage channel directing runoff to the lake was also cleaned out and graded to optimise the flow of water. Sediment and erosion controls were implemented both upstream of the lake and downstream, below the spillway.</image:caption>

This photo shows the wetland still under construction (August 6, 2023). No doubt, the health of this ‘wetland’ will benefit if more environmental water can be sourced to flow along the Dumaresq creeklands.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Let's talk about off-stream storage of environmental water for the creeklands ... - Can you imagine more off-stream water storages or wetlands?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perhaps you can imagine one or more off-stream water storages? If we had one or more upstream of the city, we could regulate the flows downstream and they could also assist in flood mitigation. If we created one or more off-stream wetlands either within the town boundary or downstream, no doubt we could pump water upstream to create additional flows. Perhaps you can even imagine some water sports in town, or improved fishing, or a place for concerts by a ‘lake’? Let us know your ideas in the comments. You may even decide to join us to help us develop community-endorsed Visions for our precious creeklands stream which, 125 years ago, had its natural rates of flow interrupted by the construction of Dumaresq Dam.</image:caption>

In 2019, these plans were approved by the Vice Chancellor, Annabelle Duncan, and works commenced - during Armidale’s driest year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>(Vice President) “As a historian for an earlier Armidale Council, I became aware of a number of reports written about the Dumaresq Creek. With the establishment of this Visions for Armidale Creeklands association, I now see an opportunity to use these reports to develop this magnificent resource for future generations”. Graham is a retired academic in Heritage History from the Armidale Teachers’ College, Armidale College of Advanced Education and the University of New England. He has been a consultant to Armidale Regional Council and other organisations on heritage matters.

      <image:caption>(Secretary) “I have a vision of the Armidale Creeklands as a fabulous natural resource and recreational playground for the people of Armidale. It can become the hub for vibrant cultural activities for the city, set in an amazing natural and man-made landscape”. Don retired after 40 years with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.  He was a Ranger at various locations around NSW including having an extensive leadership role in bushfire management. He has been a long-term active member of Arding Landcare.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your former committee - Martin Levins</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Committee member) “Humans are naturally attracted to water. In Australia, water is celebrated whether it is an ocean, lake, river or stream, but Armidale's beauty is marred by the ugly drain running through its centre. Let’s re-imagine our waterway. Let’s provide a beautiful, relaxing, healthy and natural environment as the core of our town”. Martin has been a teacher of students from year 0 to year 15 (from primary to tertiary) in the areas of Science, Mathematics, Computing Studies, Design and Technology, Agriculture and Geography. His interests lie in environment, digital futures and individual empowerment; he sees each of these being mutually supportive and synergistic.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your former committee - Mike Porter</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Committee member) “We want to see things improved; we want to improve the playing fields; most of the playing fields are on the creeklands and that's a really important focal point for the town. Having lived here for 40 odd years, surely we've got some ideas; we represent the users of these places. We are trying to encourage Council to negotiate with users.” Mike is now retired from his role building and maintaining much of Armidale’s water, sewage and waste recycling facilities. He has worked in the district most of his life including with CSIRO and the University of New England. His passion is for the sporting facilities of Armidale and especially for cricket.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your former committee - Jim Reid</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Treasurer) “Having travelled around the world a bit and viewed many towns and cities from Oxford and Cambridge to New York and Seattle, I can appreciate the value of water enhancing the lived environment. The Australian climate presents particular difficulties in achieving this. However, there are many examples of success such as Forbes, Adelaide, Pinnaroo, Stanthorpe and others. I would like to help create an enhanced and attractive space in Armidale that everyone can enjoy”. Jim has retired from roles as Computer Systems Administrator, Biological Technician and Professional Officer at the University of New England and a consultant to various organisations.  He has had extensive experience with electronic, mechanical and software engineering.  Was an Arding Landcare founding member and executive with special interest in the care of Thomas Lagoon. He is also an Armidale Men’s Shed member and has been on the executive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your former committee - Gudrun Dieberg</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Committee member) “I grew up in Germany and creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans were always there, not only on holidays, but part of everyday life. Water makes life possible and for many of us, it is restorative and calming. Having called Armidale home for nearly 30 years, our lovely creeklands have not changed much – they could be so much more”. Gudrun recently retired as an Associate Professor in Biomedical Science at the University of New England and has maintained an adjunct role to support her postgraduate students. Her research interest is in exercise physiology, and she believes our creeklands can contribute to Armidalians’ well-being (including the four-legged kind).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your former committee - Jim Scott</image:title>
      <image:caption>(President) “I believe that all great cities have water as their focal point. As Armidale is, in most respects, a great city, I want it to see beautiful water features throughout the city to enhance the quality of life - of humans, water life, bird life and vegetation”. Jim is a retired Professor of Farming Systems, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England (UNE) and foundation Coordinator of UNE’s Centre for Sustainable Farming Systems (2001-2007). Jim cycled along Armidale’s creeklands for 28 years, commuting to and from UNE.</image:caption>
