Biolinks Alliance and the City of Greater Bendigo have partnered to deliver the Heathcote Local to Landscape plan. The Heathcote Local to Landscape Action Plan, produced in collaboration with the Heathcote community, is a plan for community-led landscape-scale ecological restoration. 

The community identified six key ecological targets that they believed best represented their environment and should be a priority for local protection and/or restoration projects. These are: Habitat trees, Wild Duck and McIvor Creeklines and watersheds; Habitat corridors (‘Biolinks’); Gliders/Phascogales; Threatened Woodland Birds; and Soil Health.

Two pilot projects from the Action Plan are currently underway:

• Spring Plains Watershed Repair project

• Heathcote Large Old Hero Trees 

In 2021, Biolinks Alliance partnered with the City of Greater Bendigo to deliver our annual symposium:

• Leaky Landscapes (2021)
