Get onto our list of prequalified contractors
NQ Dry Tropics will update its register of pre-qualified contractors available to work on large-scale gully remediation projects in the BBB.
These Expression of Interest (EOI) documents will help contractors and suppliers to provide the information needed to be put onto that list. Links to the submission forms are included.
EOI documents available here
As work arises, contractors and suppliers on the list will have the opportunity to tender. Click here to open the explanatory leaflet and pre-qualification document.
Completed EOI documents must be received at ldc@nqdrytropics.com.au by close of business on Friday 15 July, 2022.

LANDSCAPE REMEDIATION


Gully remediation at Strathmore Station… the image before work started was taken on 21 March, 2020 and the photograph of the result was snapped on 20 July, 2021.
Erosion repair in the BBB
The BBB produces almost half of the total fine sediment load that ends up in the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
About 65 per cent of fine sediment comes from gully erosion, which makes gully management a high priority for investment and is why gully remediation is a key component of the the LDC project.
The Landscape Remediation activity area is trialling large and small-scale gully remediation approaches to improve water quality and to determine cost-effective solutions that can be transferred to other projects and catchments.
Large-scale gullies
Since the Landholders Driving Change project began, NQ Dry Tropics, in collaboration with Griffith University has mapped gullies in the BBB to help prioritise gully projects.
The benefits of this approach are that LDC has been able to develop:
- transferable procedures for remote mapping and characterisation of gullies including load estimates;
- a Geographic Information System (GIS) dataset of more than 22,000 active BBB gullies; and
- a framework for site selection.
Small-scale gullies
The Landholders Driving Change project helps graziers remediate small-scale gullies to reduce soil erosion.
BBB graziers can apply for grants to help them fix problem gullies.
Remediated gullies can help to reduce erosion as well as slow water movement, keeping it on the property where it can help improve soil and pasture health.
