Undertaking revegetation projects Seek advice Obtaining local knowledge to help plan your project is a great idea. Advice is available by contacting the Noosa Koala Connect Project Officer at Noosa Landcare. If you are registered with Land for Wildlife or are part of the Voluntary Conservation Agreements Program with Noosa Council you can contact Noosa Council’s conservation partnerships team for advice also(Contact details at rear of booklet). Resources Self funded or funding assistance options exist. Depending on your circumstance and the size of your project, funding assistance may be available through either Noosa Landcare (via grant funding) or Noosa Council’s Conservation Partnerships Program (via free trees or assistance with bushland maintenance). Planning Your available time, budget, the scale of your project, the location you wish it to occur and the existing vegetation at the site are all considerations that will help determine the restoration methodology that you use. In our area of South East Queensland, typically two main techniques are used to revegetate an area, these include: Assisted natural regeneration Direct planting of seedlings. For those interested in learning in detail about restoration planning and techniques, The South-East Queensland Ecological Restoration Framework Manual provides an excellent overview of best practice approaches. Revegetation projects require site preparation, appropriate species selection for the soil type, watering and maintenance.
