Summary

This project had many different facets. Of most relevance in relation to on-ground works, approximately 275,950.4ha (Watson River Station off the Holroyd River) of land was rehabilitated, which included 157km of river frontage that was fenced to protect 126,600ha of native riparian vegetation.

Benefits

This project will:
  • improve soil surface condition and groundcover
  • reduce turbidity in aquatic environments, promoting natural regeneration.

Lesson

Given Cape York is such a remote area, access and on-ground works are severely restricted from December to April.
