In one aspect, the present invention provides a stabiliser for stabilising earth, rock or other structures, the stabiliser having a hollow elongate body portion including an opening extending substantially the entire length of the body portion and a closure member aligned to substantially cover the opening of the body portion, the closure member being configured to extend substantially parallel to an inner wall of the body portion in the vicinity of the opening. The present invention also provides a stabiliser assembly including: a stabiliser for stabilising earth, rock or other structures, the stabiliser having an elongate body portion including an opening extending substantially the entire length of the body portion; a closure member aligned to substantially cover the opening of the body portion; and a cartridge containing filler material in a bag of permeable material, the bag being shaped to substantially conform to the internal dimensions of the stabiliser body; wherein the closure member substantially covering the opening of the body portion significantly reduces the likelihood of a cartridge becoming ensnared upon the internal wall of a hole during insertion of the stabiliser assembly into a hole.
