The marine estate management strategy has nine initiatives, one of which is initiative one. That has everything to do with managing diffuse pollutants, namely sediment and nutrients in our case. The early days we did some modelling to identify where those major sources of sediment nutrients were coming from and that modelling indicated that the Olsenville Plateau was a major hotspot for that loss. So we took the idea of working on the Olsenville Plateau as part of the Richmond River pilot to DPI OEH at the time and some of our other major partners who all endorse the idea of working in this particular area and to basically complement the other works that were happening in the Richmond River. For the long time Council and the community knew that the river was bad and the oyster industry disappeared and prorning in the river disappeared and it wasn't until we had a examination by the State Government and we found out the river was a D-plus and it was the worst in coastal and New South Wales that everyone started to think we've got to do something more. In this area we've got quite a large concentration of camphor and other weed species that dominate the landscape. Heavily eroded banks, generally through a lack of appropriate land management but also through heavy boatwash activity. We also had quite a number of unsealed roads that were really really close to marine estate assets. We're actually delivering three actions under the marine estate management strategy and those actions are restoration of riparian areas on waterways so that's all the vegetation from the banks backwards, stabilising the banks of the waterways themselves and also sealing dirt roads because we know there are major sediment polluter of waterways. Dirt and things ending up in our small streams which feed into the main river were causing a lot of the problem so we knew there had to be a start and that's what this project is all about. The conditions here before they started works on the riverbank was more or less just every flood event, something was bound to fall in, risk of losing your road, the vegetation that was already there. We essentially developed a new technique for what would typically be called rock revetment. In that we included snags, pins and reef balls to supplement those that structure and provide complex habitat. We also employed a new technique which is essentially a snag hotel mimicking a log jam and so recently we've installed a hundred snag hotels to provide both boat wave deflection qualities but also complex aquatic habitat. One of the more complex jobs that we undertook was the development of a mangrove nursery. We chose a log fillet in this instance and a corrugated log fillet design that actually provides boat wash deflection but also the means to grow mangroves behind that structure. The benefits of the program going forward will be that the soil will not keep eroding from the bank, the vegetation will come back in the fish as well. Our road was right on the river and we had no room to move so to take out a cut were trees to receive what we have got on the river. I think it's a fair ask. The marine estate management strategy have contributed to supporting landholders with implementing protection works so it's a form of living sediment fence. These buffers are on our riverways to buffer the sediment and the nutrient that leaves these properties and eventually enters our waterways. On the riverway, we had a lot of waterways that were on the riverway and we had to get to the creek line. In this location we used two types of restoration strategy. Firstly we used the assisted regeneration because it already had a good canopy cover of natives. So the assisted regeneration takes away the weeds from the mid and lower story so that the native seed bank can regenerate itself. The second strategy we used was rehabilitation which was used in areas where you can't take it back to its natural state because of farming practices or power lines. In that section we sort of used lamander carrots and a few other sedges and grasses to sort of intercept the plantings. The community will get a lot out of this project. We want to actually start doing some guided bush walks down here so the community can come and see exactly what the region team have done down here and to show what can be done through bush region. We're up in the top of the catchment area for Howard's Creek and the water quality that was running off the property with degraded sand, creek banks and with cattle running on the property was affecting the water quality downstream. The works that took place at the site were a combination of assisted regeneration and reconstruction. The main works that happened were obviously the canopy camp for control and also putting up the fences to stop cattle access to the creek. Hopefully the water quality for the future for certainly macro invertebrates and the fauna that's improving in the area. Yeah. We're glad to have the habitats improving for them. Now do it or so a platter push there the other day. So, we're thrilled about that. We've built really strong relationships with our landholders. We continue working with them, we continue supporting them, provide training for them. They can come to us if they have any issues but in the next five years we'll be working very closely with them. We've got a scrub regeneration of supporting landholders in upskilling their species ID. So educating landholders on weed control techniques and also the significance of the vegetation they have on their property. So how are we going to measure the success of this project? We can measure it qualitatively through the biodiversity and ecosystem health that we get, the tourism and recreational value, the benefits to fisheries as I said before, both commercial and recreational. We've undertaken 38 kilometres of riparian restoration but as I said before, cattle farms and this tea tree farm that we're here on today, we've actually undertaken 2.3 kilometres of bank stabilisation. We've done all this work in partnership with Big Scrubber regeneration with Balanashaya Council, Saw Conservation Service, multiple landholders as I said before, DPI fisheries. All of those have contributed to the success of this project. We've invested $1.7 million to get that riparian restoration, invested $1.3 million to do the bank stabilisation. I think the benefits that we're actually and the achievement we get from that will be really hard to count actually. That's a small investment when you think about what we're getting from the project.
