Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydroseeding and how does it help with erosion?
Hydroseeding is a process where a slurry of grass seed, fertiliser, mulch, and water is sprayed over bare soil to quickly establish vegetation. It's an efficient and cost-effective erosion control method, especially on slopes, embankments, or large cleared areas. The mulch binds to the soil, protecting it from wind and water erosion while the seed germinates. As vegetation grows, root systems stabilise the soil and improve moisture retention. Hydroseeding is often used after construction, land clearing, or in areas where traditional planting is difficult. It’s a popular option for farmers, councils, and developers looking to rehabilitate disturbed land with fast results.
What types of machinery are commonly wet hired in rural areas?
In rural and agricultural settings, the most commonly wet hired machines include excavators, dozers, graders, skid steers, and tractors. These are typically used for tasks like dam building, firebreak construction, land clearing, road maintenance, and trenching for utilities. Wet hire is popular in rural areas because many landowners or farmers may not have the necessary licences, time, or experience to operate large or complex machines. By hiring both equipment and an operator, projects are completed faster, with fewer delays or safety issues. The flexibility of wet hire also allows property owners to scale machinery needs based on the project’s scope.
What permits are required for dam construction in Queensland?
In Queensland, dam construction may require permits under state water and environmental legislation, depending on the dam’s size, location, and intended use. For example, a development permit may be needed if the dam interferes with a watercourse or lies within a regulated catchment. You may also need to register your dam with the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water, especially if it exceeds a certain height or volume. Environmental impact assessments could also apply. It’s essential to consult local and state authorities or a licensed contractor familiar with current laws. Compliance helps avoid costly fines or forced deconstruction.
