BLUE MOUNTAINS REGENERATION

11 Oct 2018


Tn order to regenerate the bushland of the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains region, All Stake Supply worked with Blue Mountains Council to deliver an extensive habitat protection program and swamp rehabilitation program.



Project 1 | During rain events

The two projects saw All Stake Supply use a variety of techniques to promote swamp rehabilitation and reduce erosion during heavy rainfall in the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains in NSW.

PROJECT 1 EROSION CONTROL

The objective of the first project was to slow the stormwater runoff velocity before entering the national park. This high-water velocity is created through the impermeable hard surfaces of urbanisation along the ridgelines in the blue mountains.

Project 1 | Initial installation

Installation Steps

  1. A scalloped channel lined with jute matting was created.

  2. At intervals along the channel, Coir logs secured with timber stakes are positioned to act as road bumps for the free-flowing water.

  3. The channel directs the storm water runoff into a bioretention bay at the base of the slope, the bioretention bay allows the runoff to soak into the ground reducing the erosion affect.

Project 2 | Initial installation & one year after installation

PROJECT 2 SWAMP REHABILITATION

For the second project, the objective is to rehydrate a traditional Blue Mountain swamp area. All Stake Supply did this by retaining water runoff on the sandstone plateau. Creating a natural retaining wall combined with low subsurface permeability (sandstone plateau) creates a habitat that is ideal for the Blue Mountain swamp.

Project 2 | Two years after installation

Installation Steps

  1. A wall of coir logs wrapped in jute matting is dug into the ground at the low point of the sloping ground. As rain events occur, water runs down the valley and starts to back up once it hits the Coir log structure. Water seepage through the wall is at a very low rate, allowing the water to build up in the valley and rehydrate the subsoil thus building up the ground hydrology.

  2. In time the retained moisture in the soil enables native swamp vegetation to grow. In the case of this project, native grasses grew back very successfully over a two-year period.
