Projects underway
Tuckean Swamp
Hydrological modelling is being updated at Tuckean Swamp to understand future sea level rise risks and assess possible tidal restoration scenarios. Information will be used to determine a preferred restoration option and inform planning for any restoration activities.
Everlasting Swamp
Contributing to the Everlasting Swamp Rehabilitation Project, a multi-agency project led by DCCEEW and NPWS. Developing a wetland restoration solution at the Everlasting Swamp National Park and State Conservation Area.
Clybucca Wetlands
Assessing historical water quality data from Clybucca Creek and reviewing the effects of a temporary reintroduction of tide to the drainage network post flood. This analysis will assist planning for potential future changed management of the lower Clybucca floodplain wetlands.
Malabar Creek and floodplain
A hydrologic assessment of the Malabar Creek and floodplain drainage system at Moruya, identified areas where saltmarsh was affected by poor tidal exchange.
Malabar Creek and floodplain
This project reviewed infrastructure influencing floodplain drainage, tidal exchange, and flood hydrology, like this levee.
Malabar Creek and floodplain
The effects of other infrastructure such as this wall and pump were also identified.
Panboola
Options to increase the connectivity between the Pambula estuary and sections of coastal floodplain at Panboola within the Old Pambula Racecourse are being investigated. This will increase the health of the existing wetland area increasing its resilience, and that of the wider estuary, to future flood impacts.
