👏 Congratulations to the 10 NSW councils securing $2.3 million to tackle our most hazardous and problematic waste streams. The NSW EPA has just awarded the final round of the Local Government Waste Solutions Fund.
🌊 Concrete channels are out. Dynamic ecological restoration is in. Congratulations to the North East Catchment Management Authority for the release of the House Creek Remediation Plan in Wodonga.
🕷️ A common spiderweb might be the most powerful biodiversity sampling tool on your next remote site assessment. Great to see @Mineral Resources and @Curtin University concluding a landmark three-year research partnership.

🔋 Great to see West Australian startup Renewable Metals securing $12 million to address the secondary waste crisis in battery recycling.
🗺️ You can build a 1.2 GW wind and 3.2 GWh storage project without clearing a single hectare of native forest. Congratulations to Neoen Australia for officially referring their Bondo wind and storage project for federal EPBC Act assessment.
🧲 Capturing short-chain PFAS is one of the most stubborn challenges in groundwater remediation. A new Australian technology just achieved 98% removal. Congratulations to the research team at @Flinders University and @UNSW for developing a novel ‘nano-cage’ filter.
👏 Congratulations to @The University of Queensland for delivering a significant new open-source tool for Australian environmental planners. UQ researchers have published two high-resolution national datasets: the Human Industrial Footprint and the Ecological Intactness Index.
🏆 Congratulations to Anita Doig and the team at WGA for award-winning research that challenges how we view laterite geology in northern Australia. Lateritic regolith profiles often look solid and impermeable.
💧 Imagine your entire community relying solely on bottled water for four years. That has been the daily reality for Kiwirrkurra, Western Australia’s most remote Aboriginal community.
