Trialled calcined clay as a low-carbon concrete option, developed in collaboration with Major Road Projects Victoria, Arup, University of Melbourne and Heidelberg Materials Australia

Partnered with Viva Energy to trial hydrotreated vegetable oil as a sustainable diesel substitute

Implemented an Australian first mobile slurry waste system with Patriot Environmental Management – separating solids and liquids, allowing water reuse and repurposing solids for topsoil onsite

Introduced goats for weed control on rocky terrain as an eco-friendly alternative to herbicides

Installed habitat hollows with Habitat Management Services to provide new homes for parrots and possums

Recycled coffee grounds with social enterprise Reground to create fertiliser for landscaping
