WA - literature review & information hub

Literature review

The Mulloon Institute is currently conducting a literature review of landscape rehydration in the Western Australian context, primarily examining case studies and published literature within WA, as well as looking at similar cases in areas of Queensland and New South Wales. 

Landscape rehydration specialists Tim Wiley (Tierra Australia) and Rod O’Bree (Western Independent Foods) have been extremely helpful in providing case study reports and anecdotal evidence of landscape rehydration benefits, both on-farm and within larger catchments. Published research and field evidence sourced from Rangelands WA NRM, Ecosystem Management Understanding (Dr Hugh Pringle’s EMU),  University of Western Australia, Southern Cross University and the Australian Government has also been incredibly valuable for the review.  

TMI is collaborating with RegenWA to make the literature review accessible to farmers and industry stakeholders who are identifying, implementing and sharing innovative land management practices that other farmers can adopt. It will form a useful and ongoing resource for landholders to access easily and learn about landscape rehydration works relevant to Western Australia.

The literature review is being published by the Mulloon Institute as part its ‘Landscape Rehydration Trial & Demonstration in the Wheatbelt of WA’ project, which is funded through the WA State Government’s State Natural Resource Management program.

Digital Information Hub

Work is currently also underway on developing a Digital Information Hub to support those interested in landscape rehydration on the ground in WA. The hub will be a central point for landscape rehydration resources including case studies, educational videos and manuals. This space will encourage participants to engage and support each other through their regenerative journey through building a community of practice.

TMI is collaborating on this hub with the Muresk Institute and Perth NRM and we look forward to sharing resources with landholders in the near future.
