Brisbane Golf Clib is a registered eBird hotspot, with several species recorded at markedly higher frequency here than the regional average - including the Collared Sparrowhawk, Nankeen Night Heron, and Bush Thick-knee. Water-dependent species such as Royal Spoonbill, Australasian Darter, and Queensland-Vulnerable Bush Stone-curlew are also regularly recorded around the course's creeks and water bodies.
Every water body and creek on the course, including Moolabin and Rocky Waterholes Creek, is protected by a 5-metre, GPS-marked no-spray buffer zone under the Club's Integrated Pest Management Policy. Healthy, diverse water-dependent bird populations are a recognized indicator of water quality - their consistent presence here reflects sustained, deliberate protection of the habitat they depend on.
The club also runs regular bird walks with members, sharing this water-dependent bird life directly with the people who play the course.
