Frequently Asked Questions
Can replanting native species help control erosion?
Yes, replanting native species is one of the most effective and sustainable methods for erosion control. Native grasses, shrubs, and trees typically have deep root systems that bind soil, improve water retention, and slow runoff. These plants are well-adapted to local conditions, requiring less water and maintenance once established. They also restore biodiversity, providing habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife. In areas prone to erosion—such as slopes, creek banks, or cleared land—revegetation can stabilise the ground and reduce sediment loss. Many landowners combine planting with other methods like mulching or contouring to maximise erosion control and long-term soil health.
Do I need a licence to operate hired excavation equipment?
Yes, in most cases, operating excavation equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, or loaders requires a current licence or competency certification under workplace health and safety regulations. Even if formal licensing isn’t required, operators must be trained and competent in the safe use of the machinery. This is one of the reasons many people choose wet hire—where a licensed operator is included with the equipment. It reduces risk, ensures the work is done to a professional standard, and helps meet insurance and legal requirements. Always check local or state regulations before using heavy plant equipment, especially on commercial or high-risk sites.
What are spillways and why are they essential in dam construction?
A spillway is a controlled outlet that allows excess water to safely exit a dam when water levels rise beyond capacity. Without a spillway, heavy rainfall could cause water to overflow the dam wall, leading to erosion or structural failure. Spillways are designed to direct overflow to a safe discharge point, protecting both the dam and surrounding areas. They’re usually constructed from concrete, rock, or compacted earth, and are built into the dam’s design based on expected rainfall and catchment size. Routine maintenance is essential to keep them clear of debris and vegetation. A well-functioning spillway ensures dam safety and longevity.
