SummaryOne part of the project involves fencing 1300m of what is now creek frontage due to widening of the creek. Control of stock access to the creek will assist the natural regeneration of riparian vegetation along the creek.
A second part of the project involves establishing five water points for cattle that are no longer able to obtain water from the creek whilst it is being rehabilitated over the long term. A third component involves installing a further 2000m of fencing to better manage the higher country now that the flats have been lost. Significant in-kind contributions by the landholder have resulted in this project delivering greater outcomes for the funds provided. Benefits
