Landslip Remediation plans for private landholders
The severe rain events that impacted the Northern Rivers in February and March 2022 caused thousands of landslips across the region. We are working to support landholders to stabilise slips and prevent further soil erosion on these sites.
Border Ranges Richmond Valley Landcare Network have received funding from North Coast Local Land Services to provide site assessments and remediation plans for landslips across the Tweed, Brunswick and Richmond River catchments where these slips pose ongoing threats to threatened or endangered ecological communities. BRRVLN have partnered with Brunswick Valley Landcare, Richmond Landcare and Tweed Landcare to roll out this project across the region.
Have you had a landslip on your property?
We would like to hear from private landholders who have had landslips on their property within the Lismore, Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Kyogle and Richmond Valley local government areas.
We are specifically looking for properties that have high conservation values or where landslips pose a downstream impact to areas of high conservation value. We anticipate a lot of interest in this funding and will need to prioritise sites based on the impact that they pose to threatened species, site accessibility, property location and other factors.
Please note we are unable to provide remediation plans for landslips that impact infrastructure.
What help can you get?
Landholders will be provided with a tailored remediation plan that will outline strategies that can be undertaken to mitigate soil erosion and enhance slope stability. Sites will be assessed by qualified professionals which may include engineers, soil conservationists or bush regenerators. At this stage we are unable to provide financial support for undertaking the works that may be outlined in the remediation plans. Our intention is that landholders can use these plans to under take self funded works or to apply for future funding opportunities.
