Biodiversity and Land Management 

Biodiversity

The Bulga Complex currently manages approximately 5,500 hectares of land.  Non-mining areas include cattle grazing areas, vineyards, olive groves, native bushland and a conservation area.

The overall objective is to coordinate sustainable land and biodiversity management practices across our properties.  The key objectives of our land management activities include:

  • Maintaining the rural character and landscape amenity of the area
  • Operating our properties in a manner which supports the local rural industries
  • Weed and feral animal control
  • Careful grazing management
  • Sediment and erosion control
  • Promoting natural regeneration to enhance biodiversity

Biodiversity activities at the Bulga Complex include rehabilitating areas disturbed by mining activities; restoring previously grazed farming land; native vegetation seed collection and propagation; recreating corridors of natural vegetation to encourage plant and animal habitats; and flora and fauna monitoring.
