Numinbah Maintenance

Numinbah Maintenance

Specifications

  • Client: Seqwater
  • Scope:

    Seqwater has engaged Verterra to deliver a 3-year weed maintenance program for the Numinbah Offset at 2201 Nerang-Murwillumbah, Numinbah Valley. Verterra has prepared and submitted a Contract maintenance program and Risk planning documentation prior to maintenance work on site and will prepare reporting: a task completion report for each maintenance even including photo points (3 per year) and an annual maintenance performance report. All maintenance works will be carried out in accordance with Numinbah Offsets Management Plan (prepared by Verterra in 2017).

  • Challenge:

    Seqwater engaged a Numinbah valley landowner to provide 13.09ha of land under a statutory covenant for regenerated and revegetated koala habitat offsets in compliance with the Vegetation Management Act 1999. Following preparation of a site Vegetation Management Plan (Ecofund 2011), the offset was established and located on freehold titles lot 2/RP168337 and 5/SP170904 owned by Gordon and June French.

    This offset counterbalances the loss of vegetation impacted by the raising of the Hinze Dam (Hinze Dam Stage 3 Upgrade) that resulted in vegetation communities’ inundation. The objective of this Offset is to achieve non-juvenile status and progress to remnant status over time. The offset is managed in accordance with the Policy for Vegetation Management Offsets (2009) and is now in the maintenance phase.

  • Solution:

    Verterra are familiar with the offset having previously produced the Numinbah Offsets Management Plan in 2017. Previous engagement with the landholder has been positive.  With extensive weed management experience Verterra’s team have previously worked on Seqwater projects and hold necessary inductions.

  • Benefit to Client:

    Effective and compliant weed management, which will assist as the offset trees advance towards non-juvenile status and progress to remnant status.
