The planting will be carried out around the new low-level crossing that is currently under construction across Flood Creek beside the Braidwood end of Bombay Road. When completed, this crossing is intended to provide horse-riders with a safe and stable crossing point across the creek to Hassall's Reserve. Both sides of the crossing will be landscaped with native trees, shrubs and groundcovers and the Bombay Road side will provide a sheltered grassy area and creek access for public recreation.

This new recreational area will form one of a number of picturesque recreational sites beside Flood Creek. The sites are to be joined by a public path running alongside the creek from Archer Bridge to a new footbridge and pathway planned for below Garvey Street. These paths and new crossing points will provide increased recreational opportunities within and near to the township and will link other planting sites planned for future stages of the Flood Creek project.

The overall project is being conducted in partnership between BULG, Palerang Council, The Land and Property Management Authority (former Lands Dept.), Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, The Sydney Catchment Authority and Greater Southern Area Health. It is designed to achieve multiple beneficial goals. These include an increase in environmental and habitat values through the revegetation of the area with native flora and also general improvements in access and amenity for all of our local community and visitors. This major addition to Braidwood's walking paths will be enjoyed by the town's many recreational pedestrians.
