32 BUNDANON TRUST Robert Dickerson, Artist at Bundanon (detail), 2011. Donated by Jennifer Dickerson in memory of Robert Dickerson AO. Bundanon Trust Collection BUILT & NATURAL ENVIRONMENT protecting and sharing the landscape

This has been a particularly active year for Bundanon Trust with a range of projects to ensure our built and natural assets are protected and accessible to all. Key sections of the Bundanon access road were significantly upgraded with major works to address soil erosion and the installation of soldier piles, steel reinforcements and capping beams. The Bundanon Heritage Precinct saw continuing work on the remediation of the Servants Quarters with work also commencing on refurbishment of our property at Eearie Park. The Bundanon soakage was excavated to create greater depth ensuring better water quality. The Trust was pleased to partner with Shoalhaven Landcare to reintroduce the Stuttering Frog onto our Riversdale property. The year also saw the commencement of a partnership with Firesticks – the National Indigenous Fire Workshop, and Mudjingaalbaraga Firesticks team, to introduce cultural burning onto our properties. The full results and impact of this will be seen in 2018-19. Our cattle management has shifted to an agistment arrangement which has resulted in significant efficiencies in managing this part of our operations. The Trust’s Landscape Futures Subcommittee has guided our staff in the process of reviewing the Trust’s Property Management Plan, creating a refreshed 10 year vision to resource and undertake a program of works to maintain the natural landscape.
