A green initiative in Redland Bay will breathe new life into the Logan River, with Lendlease having engaged Hall to plant a 9.8-hectare mangrove and saltmarsh habitat.
The wetlands will form part of the Southern Redland Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant and are expected to provide water quality benefits as well as habitat for birds and marine life.
Hall has been tasked with undertaking bulk earthworks and roadworks, constructing a low flow drain, planting 35,000 new mangroves, and translocating 14,400m2 of salt marsh.
The mangroves will be used to line the low flow drain and will act as a natural filtration system, offsetting nutrients in the recycled water that is discharged from the wastewater treatment plant.
The Southern Redland Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant is expected to service approximately 13,500 residents as well as schools, businesses, and sporting facilities on completion.
