Forest Creek Revitalisation, Castlemaine
3 Acres Landscape Architecture were engaged by Djandak to develop a planting design for the historic Forest Creek Channel in Castlemaine. Working with immense hydrological constraints, we consulted with the Kapa Gatjin (Water Knowledge) group, environmental engineers, vegetation experts and local Landcare group to develop a robust planting approach that will help to restore the creek system in this highly disturbed and modified landscape.
