Falcon Avenue Reserve for City of West Torrens.

Construction by LCS.

How do you stabilise a steep hillside after urgent tree removal?

Following the Giant pine scale biosecurity response in Highbury Aqueduct Reserve, introduced species of pines were removed to stop the spread. This left sections of the hillside exposed ahead of winter rainfall.

Working across slopes of up to 40 degrees, our team delivered a practical erosion-control and revegetation solution, following strict hygiene and decontamination requirements:

- Coir logs to slow runoff and retain sediment
- Silt fencing to protect downslope areas
- Approximately 3,000 locally native plants
- Native grass and groundcover seedi like t
- Ongoing watering and targeted w**d control

The result: immediate erosion protection, backed by native vegetation that will strengthen the hillside over time.

Works completed for Department for Environment and Water.

🏃‍♂️ A great effort from our team at the City Bay last weekend. Well done to everyone who got involved!

Controlled ecological burning is an important tool for managing native grasslands.

Our team recently carried out a carefully managed cool burn at the City of Salisbury’s BAGSPA native grass site, within an established stand of Themeda triandra (Kangaroo Grass). The burn removed accumulated biomass and senescent vegetation, helping create improved conditions for new growth and native grass regeneration.

This work is part of our ongoing work at the site, alongside targeted w**d control, monitoring, seasonal seeding and seed collection to support a healthier, more diverse and resilient native grassland over time.

Built for good play...and good rest!

The new playspace at Mount Barker Primary School already being put to good use. There’s nothing better than seeing a playspace come to life with happy kids, big imaginations and plenty of fun 🛝

Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful thing we can do is check in.

At LCS, we understand that mental wellbeing is an important part of a safe and supportive workplace. We take practical steps to support our people, including access to our Employee Assistance Program and industry-specific mental health support.

As our WHS Advisor Jeff Thomas puts it, "creating a culture where checking in, speaking up and asking for help are recognised as acts of strength, compassion and courage is something we can all contribute to."

Take the time to check in with your workmates today, any day.

Because a conversation could change a life.

Our team recently returned to Virgo Reserve complete maintenance works across the turf area and surrounding landscapes.

Constructed by LCS in partnership with the City of Playford and the South Australian Housing Trust in 2025, this once-vacant site has been transformed into a vibrant, accessible space for the local community to enjoy.

It's rewarding to see the reserve being well used and enjoyed. Have you visited Virgo Reserve yet?
