Wetland Wise Use
Protect wetland integrity.
ABC considers site-specific restoration and livelihood activities that protect hydrology, native vegetation and biodiversity, with the relevant assessments and approvals.
Operating principles
Where ABC can work
ABC considers clumping bamboo on suitable higher ground, approved outer margins, raised embankments or degraded catchment sites as part of a wider restoration plan.
Areas and activities ABC excludes
Wetland cores and drainage channels. ABC excludes drainage, infilling, obstruction of natural flows and replacement of native wetland vegetation.
Livelihood options
Where authorised, bamboo can support farm infrastructure and beekeeping outside core areas. Aquaculture requires site-specific design and water-quality safeguards.
