There are many ways that corporate groups have supported B4C. While some have employed B4C's ESU to undertake rehabilitation projects, others have provided direct grants for revegetation and equipment. In 2011, Queensland Urban Utilities partnered with B4C to provide rehabilitation works and community outcomes following sewage upgrade works. Boral and Powerlink have also supported B4C through provision of sites for administration, and the newly developing Southside Sustainability Centre.
If you would like information on becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact B4C's Catchment Manager, Wayne Cameron, on 07 3420 4800.
Boral has had a longstanding relationship with B4C and appreciates the valuable contribution that the organisation makes to catchment management. Boral has chosen to support B4C as its activities are aligned with Boral's sustainability objectives. In particular, B4C's activities in educating future generations and rehabilitating the local environment. Boral is pleased that B4C's activities and influence now extend beyond the Bulimba Creek area, and that they are now receiving State Government recognition.
Caltex has been a valuable sponsor of B4C's community nursery since 2006, facilitating its move to the Southside Sustainability Centre in 2009 and supporting its ongoing development as a training, education and volunteering facility for community members.
The sponsorship has also contributed to the recent construction of community gardens at the Centre.

In 2008, the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project awarded Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee a $10,000 grant to design and implement a community-driven and conducted fauna monitoring program at the Oxbow, a highly degraded wetland system in the lower catchment of Bulimba Creek.
This grant revealed the immense benefit of restoration works at the Oxbow, with over 20 nekton species discovered to have re-inhabited the wetland. Although WCRWP no longer funds the research, it has contined and the Oxbow remains a highly significant urban wetland site, with new species of fish and prawn discovered on a yearly basis.
