On the 19th March, the Seqwater Board visited Maleny to personally inspect some of the on-ground works being implemented by LBCCG. We showed them a property that has had no dairy laneway hardening completed and then visited Walker’s Creek restoration where laneways had been hardened mid 2009. The difference was clear to see – particularly after the heavy rainfall Maleny had experienced in the weeks leading up to the visit. Hardening laneways and dairy aprons significantly reduces erosion and nutrient run-off – protecting water quality in the catchment.
