Our Projects

With a site accessible only via crossing live train tracks and a huge amount of work to be completed, our Services team pulled out all the stops to deliver for LXRP’s Western Program Alliance.

• works carried out over weekend so as not to interrupt train services
• 56m3 of Topsoil stockpiled locally over the week before the job
• Our blower trucks and slinger trucks both utilised
• 900m2 of hydromulch applied over two days

The Living Pavilion was envisioned as a recyclable, biodegradable, edible and biodiverse event space that celebrates Indigenous knowledge systems, ecological science and sustainable design through participatory arts practice.

RESULTS:

• Run as part of University of Melbourne’s RAP, we recreated a lost landscape by temporarily installing 40,000 indigenous plants on Wurundjeri Country at the University’s Parkville campus.
• Plants were chosen to showcase the unique ecologies of the Kulin Nations.
• The plants used in the installation were subsequently installed on the Thompsons Road upgrade, a Major Roads Projects Victoria initiative.
• The Living Pavilion has been nominated for an AILA VIC Award 2020.

We’ve recently completed a Yarning Circle for the Bupup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre, creating a new space for children at the centre and the broader community to learn from Traditional Owners, who can pass on cultural practices and values to future generations in the space.

Ecodynamics were engaged by Fulton Hogan to re-establish sections of Rainforest, Warm Temperate Forest, Riverbank and Wet Forest vegetation communities on the 11.6km Foxground and Berry Bypass. Revegetation required the establishment of native Grasses, Shrubs and Trees with specific mixes for different parts of the site.

RESULTS:

• Ecodynamics worked closely with land care groups who supplied locally collected seed that was incorporated into the Hydromulch mixes, including some rare rainforest species.
• Our Hydromulching solution provided an immediate, positive environmental and aesthetic impact, preventing erosion and runoff from entering waterways.
• The establishment of vegetation on this project within 2 years has exceeded expectations.
