The focus is on landscape remediation work in the BBB catchment
GULLY erosion causes approximately 65 per cent of the fine sediment load that comes from the BBB.
The Landscape Remediation program, one of five activity areas in the Landholders Driving Change project, aims to develop fast, effective and economical approaches to gully remediation.
It builds on existing landscape remediation expertise and lessons learnt from previous trials, and also draws upon the knowledge of graziers and technical specialists.
Demonstration sites have been established to showcase different methods of treating large-scale features, according to erosion and soil type.
This helps to guide future investment in landscape remediation, and determine which methods may be transferable to other areas.
The program partners with eco-engineering groups for support with design and project management, in particular Verterra Ecolocial Engineering, the Alluvium Group and Neilly Group.
The program also works with BBB landholders to treat smaller-scale erosion features over extended areas, and will also closely align with the BBB Grazier Support program by working with landholders to prevent erosion.
