Mulloon Consulting - Spring update
MCCC has officially updated its name to ‘Mulloon Consulting’ but we’ll still be offering the same, high quality landscape rehydration and restoration services just with a more succinct name.
In the lead up to spring, the team have been busy implementing a number of erosion control and landscape rehydration measures for clients in the Southern Tablelands and Southern Highlands. Landscape Planners Anne Gibson and Bill McAlister have conducted site inspections at Burra and Jeir and are finalising design work for a property on the Murrumbidgee at Coolac.
CEO Carolyn Hall, Anne and Bill hosted members from the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor Management Trust and the Ginninderry Development team at the Home Farm, with an overview of the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative (MRI), an introduction to leaky weir construction, and a look at Peter’s Pond and the transformation that has been achieved along Mulloon Creek by installing these leaky weirs. The Ginninderry team are looking to the MRI to help inform their management of a conservation area as part of the Ginninderry Development. We look forward to furthering our relationship with them.

Further afield we’re building our on presence and reputation by undertaking site inspections for several exciting opportunities to rehydrate and rehabilitate landscapes across NSW and Queensland, and to provide education and training.
Landscape Planner Sam Skeat was guest presenter at the recent Worona Field Day where he delivered an ‘Introductory Landscape Function and Rehydration’ workshop at Worona Station. He provided advice on balancing ecological return and business return when undertaking landscape rehydration projects.
“Graziers are wanting to know more about how to enhance surface and groundwater management for production and ecological goals”, Sam said.
He has also been following up with interested landholders following his recent tour in south-west Queensland.
Inspecting erosion at Flagstone
Sam also undertook a site inspection at Flagstone in the lead up to holding a workshop there. Mulloon Consulting will be continuing its relationship with North Queensland Dry Tropics to deliver a demonstration site for landscape rehydration and sediment capture in the BBB (Bogan Bogie Broken catchments) which flows into the Great Barrier Reef.
Coming up soon, Mulloon Consulting will be delivering an ‘Erosion Control’ workshop at Sutton, ACT on Friday 25 September for the Molonglo Conservation Group and Reedy Creek Landcare. Attendance is FREE but please book your spot in advance.
We are also looking to expand our team and have been busy interviewing candidates – so watch this space!
