This project rehabilitated severely eroded streambanks along Logan Creek following extreme rainfall and flooding in the 2021–22 severe weather season. The collapse of streambanks had caused loss of valuable riparian vegetation and was adversely impacting aquatic habitat and water quality downstream. Funded jointly by the Queensland and Australian Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), the project aimed to stabilise riparian areas, restore ecological function and improve catchment resilience to future flood events.

For this ReVert Landscape Rehabilitation project Verterra was engaged to rehabilitate a large, actively eroding gully system adjacent to the Bowen River in North Queensland. Delivered in partnership with Alluvium through the Landscape Restoration Partnership, this project represents Australia’s first gully rehabilitation initiative registered under the ENVOMARK Reef Credit Methodology - establishing a benchmark for large-scale sediment reduction projects designed to improve water quality flowing to the Great Barrier Reef.

Innovative Design and operational delivery over two phases of alluvial gully rehabilitation at th Mt Wickham property, 38km WNW of Collinsville aimed at erosion control, and water quality improvements from significant reduction of fine sediment loss to regional waterways that directly impact the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon with ecosystem stresses, including to inshore reef and seagrass beds.

Verterra engaged with 60 horticultural growers (macadamia, avocado, sweet potato) in the Burnett-Mary Horticultural region, providing growers with detailed farm mapping (EM), soil analysis and agronomic advice designed to promote best outcomes in nutrient management and soil health for increased farm productivity.
