Landcare Program

As part of the Company’s commitment to the environment and the Greenhouse Challenge program, Loy Yang B operates a corporate Landcare program on behalf of International Power Australia in four areas of Gippsland including Phillip Island, Powlett, Churchill and Maffra.

The Landcare program has been responsible for the planting of more than 1.3 million native trees, shrubs and grasses. It has also been used to trial emerging techniques such as direct seeding and carbon sequestration calculation methods.

Traralgon Railway Reservoir Conservation Reserve

The Traralgon Railway Reservoir Conservation Reserve is a wetlands development centred on historic local land.

Loy Yang B in conjunction with the Reserve’s “Friends Group” have committed funding to an on-going program of activities focused on re-establishing the reservoir’s unique native fauna and flora.

Part of this project will be to expand the wetlands area to provide increased habitat for the numerous aquatic and bird species that inhabit the reserve.

The reserve was awarded International Power’s 2006 Flagship funding of $95,000.

The funding will allow for the development of an enhanced education program, the design and construction of interpretive information shelters and signage to educate visitors on the history of the site and the native flora and fauna which inhabit the reserve.
