The Systems Repair team works across a wide range of areas to maximise and amplify the benefits and long-term outcomes of projects.

Common activities undertaken across the region as part of Systems Repair approach include

  • The implementation of constructed wetlands, wetland rehabilitation & bio-retention/sediment basin systems to improve water quality run-off from agricultural lands and provide important habitat and refuge for biodiversity.
  • The construction of fishways to facilitate aquatic connectivity between upstream waterways, constructed wetlands and downstream estuarine ecosystems.
  • Bank stabilisation structures such as engineered log jams to stabilise stream banks, reduce sediment delivery and restore and repair waterholes and in-stream habitat.
  • Planting of endemic riparian species to increase terrestrial connectivity, reduce sediment delivery and improve habitat condition.
