Category 1 – Biodiversity. 28. Bruce Highway Upgrade—Maroochydore Road and Mons Road Interchanges Initiative- Habitat Stacks for SCRC Offset Areas.

Category 1: Biodiversity Bruce Highway Upgrade—Maroochydore Road and Mons Road Interchanges Initiative- Habitat Stacks for SCRC Offset Areas Reuse of felled timber for positive Environmental outcomes. Carbon storage and slow release of CO2 opposed to mass release of CO2 after mulching Providing essential habitat and beneficial fungus and Ecosystem for many species Camera monitoring has recorded numerous species colonising the artificial habitats Snakes Antechinus Bandicoot Blue Tongue Lizard Small Mammals Reptiles Arthropods Fungus, bacteria, Detritus.

Category 2 – Circular Economy. 30. Port Rail Transformation Project Initiative - Reuse of site generated spoil.

Category 2: Circular Economy Port Rail Transformation Project Initiative - Reuse of site generated spoil Reuse of site generated spoil within earthworks and pavements Reduce Carbon Emission and Environmental impact associated with offsite disposal of site generated spoil Reduce the carbon footprint of the project and move towards circular Economy The project reused approximately 36000T , which save $5.65 M in Disposal cost and approximately $1.65 M in Material cost.
