A rehabilitation project undertaken for Cube Developments formed part of the process at a development site in Rosemount, Queensland, where 10 hectares of sensitive riparian land was rehabilitated using a combination of weed control methods and revegetation techniques.
The weed control targeted environmental and listed weeds throughout the site over a 12-month period. Weed control techniques for revegetation preparation and regeneration areas were conducted in accordance with the SEQ Ecological Restoration Framework.
The weed management strategies achieved a significant (90%) reduction in listed weed species in the first year of the project, with regular maintenance scheduled for the remaining 2 years of the contract. The aim of the weed management project was for zero non-target application of herbicide and manual removal of weeds.
