Shoalhaven Riverbank Restoration Landscaping Project
ecoDynamics supported the long-term health of the Shoalhaven River through native revegetation and erosion control measures. This sustainable landscaping project enhanced biodiversity, stabilised riverbanks, and demonstrated the vital role of green infrastructure in protecting natural waterways.
About the Shoalhaven Riverbank landscaping restoration project
ecoDynamics NSW Landscaping team was engaged by Shoalhaven City Council to address significant erosion issues at Shoalhaven River, situated along Bundanon Estate. The project aimed to stabilise and rehabilitate the severely affected area, which had suffered considerable degradation due to erosion.
This project was particularly challenging due to its unique environmental challenges. The project site was not only home to active wombat populations, requiring careful consideration to protect their habitat, but was also in close proximity to the river. This proximity added an extra layer of complexity, needing careful management to prevent any negative impacts on the rivers ecosystem while implementing the stabilisatio9n and rehabilitation measures.

Shoalhaven Riverbank Landscaping Restoration
Scope of work
The NSW Landscaping team was responsible for clearing and removing unwanted vegetation while protecting designated trees and species. We also undertook the construction of new batters along the riverbank.
These batters were regraded to a precise slope, with rock armour installed at their base for added stability. The surface was then covered with jute matting and topped with locally sourced mulch. Finally, native grasses were sown using a hydromulcher to promote vegetation growth.
Additionally, the team constructed a drainage system to manage excess water runoff from the surrounding areas, addressing potential issues with water accumulation in the landscape.
