  3. Marys Mount Cooling Project - Phase 1 was the tree planting project. Phase 2, that is much larger is to help cool houses, gardens, streets and driveways.  A group of organisations has been put together including commercial and local government. One such participant is Raina Emerson, Landscape Architect, see:- relandscapedesign.com.au/. Raina Emerson's business is a member of Sustainable Goulburn Mulwaree.
  4. Regional Drought Resilience Program - this program is running across Goulburn Mulwaree and Wingecarribee Shires and in addition to the Goulburn Mulwaree Council, it includes Sustainable Goulburn Mulwaree, NSW Local Land Services, NSW Farmers, Landcare, Tableland Farming, Chamber of Commerce. No Progress until we get a drought!
  5. Johnson-Su Bioreactor - The Bioreactor produces particularly powerful compost at a very minimal cost. The compost works best in soil that is free of chemicals, i.e in an organic state and has a long time proven capability of increasing the amount of carbon in the soil. Information on how the bioreactor works can be found below as can a list of some of the methods of building one. There is also a video of  a really innovative project in the US that SGM plans to emulate, with Marys Mount a target. Some useful links are below on the Bioreactor:-
