20MT-C003-04 / Prospect Nature Reserve / This work will build on weed control and bush regeneration activities that have been conducted at the nature reserve for several years. The work proposed is to revegetate degraded creek lines which have been previously cleared. The aim of this revegetation work is to both stabilise these areas, thereby reducing the potential for erosion. / MuruMittigar Ltd / $26,379.00
20MT-C005-09 / Fairfield City Council - Restoration of the upper reaches of Prospect Creek / This project aims to revegetate 2 hectares of unmanaged open space between Fairfield City Councils Sustainable Resource Centre and Prospect Creek.

Works proposed include revegetation and the importation of additional organic material to the site, in the form of mulch and soil, to increase the survival rate for plantings in this project. Species selected for installation at this site will be chosen based on their ability to colonise less than pristine land. / MuruMittigar Ltd / $45,050.00
20MT-C005-01 / Penrith City Council - South Penrith - Naturally Cooling / This project intends to deliver 96,000 tree/shrub plantings across the suburb of South Penrith to effectively reduce the environmental heating of the area through increased shade provision.
