It’s been nine months since the West Camden Water Recycling Plant Upgrade project team and the local community planted over 3,000 native trees at Elizabeth Macarthur Reserve as part of our biodiversity offset.

This ongoing bushland restoration project was a collaboration with Camden Council and our delivery partners BMD and Downer.

The area is slowly establishing itself and the project is proud to leave a legacy behind.
