Summary

The project engages 3 landholders in close proximity to complete gully repair works. Earthworks will involve mechanically reshaping and repairing the priority gullies and stock exclusion to allow revegetation to stabilise the area. Landholder contributions will involve up to 50% of soil conservation cost and 30% of creek restoration costs. This project aims to prevent significant volumes of sediment from entering the Condamine River system.

Benefits

In total, 88 projects were completed by 30 June 2019. These included:
  • 67 on-ground works to repair riparian zones and watercourses damaged by the extreme weather event. Works included re-sloping, stabilisation and revegetation of banks to improve long-term stability and build resilience.
  • 21 mapping projects to improve mapping and data collection of the impacted area and inform location of on-ground works. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data obtained through these projects is available via the Queensland Spatial Information Database.
The works have increased resilience in the impacted regions and have resulted in improved water quality, increased riparian vegetation connectivity and decreased erosion.

Approximately 290,000 tonnes of sediment have been prevented from polluting the coastline every year; including the Great Barrier Reef and Moreton Bay environments.
