Ecosure have undertaken a wide variety of regeneration projects, including riparian revegetation, weed removal in conservation areas, and the successful completion of coastal dune regeneration projects throughout the Gold Coast.

Main Beach North Oceanway Regeneration, Gold Coast

(received a Gold Coast Urban Design Award 2007)

In 2006 we undertook an extensive regeneration project along the coastline of Main Beach. Works involved weed removal, and planting of native tube stock and coastal runner species. Here, we stabilised a steep bank with open-weave jute mesh and created a feature point along a popular beachside pathway using native Pigface (Carpobrotus glaucescens).

Gilston Property Development (ACG Developments Pty Ltd)

Ecosure liaised with both the client and the Gold Coast City Council on this property development. Ecosure completed the vegetation survey and weed removal on the site, and sourced and planted native vegetation following road development. This regeneration work was based around a blend of habitat restoration and aesthetics for the property sales.

Harley Park Regeneration, Gold Coast

Two days of coastal runner species planting was completed at Harley Park on the Gold Coast after the area had been re-profiled by the Gold Coast City Council. The aim was to quickly and effectively provide vegetation cover, to reduce wind erosion and stabilise the site while also improving visual amenity.
As can be seen (below and right), there were impressive results just three months after the initial planting.

Cecil Clark Park Regeneration, Eagleby

From 2005 to the present Ecosure have been responsible for the restoration and maintenance of the stormwater channel in this Queensland Park. Initial site preparation involved clearing out the blocked and degraded drain system, placing top soil, jute mesh and a gravel drain base. We planted a number of native species, including trees such as Brown Kurrajong (Commersonia bartramia) and Cotton Tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus) for shade and bank stabilisation, as well as creating ‘void’ plantings within the channel itself to slow high water flow.
