Jack Mullaly, self-proclaimed Crazed Founder of Ideanthro, was commissioned by the Water by Design team at Healthy Land and Water to make a short film about our community co-design process for Small Creek.
Filmed on a glorious Queensland winter afternoon, during a tour organised by the River Basin Management Society, it shows the water running through riffles and meanders into large wetlands, planting starting to establish, and community infrastructure including a new cycle connection.
