CEO heads north - QLD

CEO Carolyn Hall meeting with Jodene and Troy Green.

Earlier this year, CEO Carolyn Hall visited Townsville for a week to catch up with the Queensland team of Sam Skeat and Joe Skuse. During the visit the team met up with our key partners at NQ Dry Tropics and Townsville City Council.

Carolyn also spent a few hours on the Stone Hut property with landholders Troy, Ty and Jodene Green who are participating in the Lansdown Catchment Rehydration Initiative. Ty and Troy (Dad and Dave, as they call themselves) have recently completed constructed landscape rehydration measures that were designed by the Mulloon Institute, and which Carolyn was eager to see.

The Lansdown Catchment Rehydration Initiative is a catchment scale project that is building drought resilience into the Lansdown community by empowering graziers to undertake landscape rehydration measures in their landscape. The Mulloon Institute is working with six landholders to identify opportunities for landscape rehydration and undertaking detailed designs of leaky weirs, contours and fencing plans. The Lansdown Catchment Rehydration Initiative is supported by NQ Dry Tropics and the Mulloon Institute, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.

Engaging with landholders is an essential and enjoyable part of any catchment scale work, and something that the whole Mulloon team finds a lot of joy in.
