The team at Mulloon Consulting Contracting & Certifying have continued with landholder site assessments during May for projects across the Southern Tablelands, Southern Highlands and the Hunter Valley, and site assessment reports have been prepared for properties in the Hunter and Dungog.

Anne Gibson (Senior Landscape Consultant) has been busy in Coolac, NSW providing advice on gully remediation, landscape rehydration measures and revegetation, and she and Cam Wilson (Design & Education) have conducted a site assessment at Taralga, NSW to rejuvenate a small holding supporting a regenerative agricultural approach to livestock management. A further site assessment exploring the creation of wetlands in the Southern Highlands has also kept the team busy.

Bill McAlister (Landscape Planner) and Anne have been busy on developing Controlled Activity Approvals for the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative and detailed design works have advanced with a variety of approaches documented for private clients.

In Townsville, Sam Skeat has been planning for how MCCC can contribute to cost effective sediment saving projects in catchments of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon and undertake site assessments once travel restrictions are lifted.

While working within the current constraints of Covid-19 does present some challenges, we’re managing quite well to continue discussions and planning with landholders and amongst the team over Zoom.
