Revegetation of Coorong Dairies
This was the first project of
LRA which was to plan the revegetation
of an area of degraded scrub within Coorong Dairies and convert it to
a biodiversity reserve and was completed in 2004.
Wellington Wetlands
The second project, to
rehabilitate an area of degraded land and former wetlands in the Murray River
Corridor, was commenced in March 2005 as a joint venture with Wellington
Property Development Pty Limited. The project is situated south of Tailem
Bend where the river discharges into the lakes at the mouth of the Murray and is the last
port for river boats before the open water of the lakes. On completion it
will constitute one of the largest areas of reconstructed wet land in the Murray River corridor, contributing to water quality
and restoring a degraded area of banks and wind blown sand hills. It will be
financed by sales of redeveloped river side land into a residential area to
serve the growth in light industrial manufacturing in the region and the
leisure market. The wetland is to be managed by LRA on behalf of trustees
made up of representatives from commercial tenants, residents and a local
community group. Details can be seen at www.wellwetland.com.
The company has other projects
in mind and is seeking investment ideas.
