Delivering for adaptation and resilience

Delivering for adaptation and resilience in the Limestone Coast

Our landscape is changing. Now and into the future our water resources face challenges from a changing climate and growing demand for water. We deliver work that builds resilience in a changing landscape. This includes doing research and feasibility projects, through to on ground work that create change in our landscape.

Save our springs: Karst spring rejuvenation

The karst springs and alkaline fens restoration project is now underway. The project will restore a critically endangered wetland and contribute to our water security goals. It will also create new caring for country opportunities for First Nations.

From farmland to wetland, find out how we’re saving our springs.
