Mulloon Rehydration Initiative update

Leaky weir installed at Westview Farm.

On-ground works are continuing in the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative with Stage 2 nearly complete. 

So far, 60 creek structures have been installed across five properties along a 20 km stretch of Mulloon Creek. Over the coming stages of the project (Stages 3 – 5) a further 60 structures will be built over another 30 km of the creek.

Around 40,000 trees, shrubs, sedges, grasses and reeds have been planted, transplanted and naturally regenerated in the project area since it began. Many volunteer planting days have been held with two more planned for October and November 2021. Contact us to get involved!

These plants and associated biology are what turn the leaky weirs into living, growing, self-sustaining structures. Without the life sustaining force, the leaky weirs would eventually decay, erode and wash away. 

The Mulloon Rehydration Initiative is jointly funded through the Mulloon Institute and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. The initiative is also assisted by the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust.
