Wetland Rehabilitation
From $8,450 AUD per hectareDegraded wetlands lose their ability to filter water, support biodiversity, and regulate flooding. Our rehabilitation approach addresses the root causes rather than symptoms.
What's Included
- Hydrological assessment and water flow correction
- Soil chemistry analysis and amendment recommendations
- Native plant species selection based on inundation zones
- Installation of aquatic and emergent vegetation
- Fauna habitat features including snags and nesting platforms
- Weed control program for first 24 months
- Quarterly monitoring visits for two years
We've completed wetland projects ranging from 0.5 to 40 hectares across coastal and inland systems. Each project begins with understanding historical hydrology and existing vegetation remnants.
Biodiversity Assessment
$3,275 AUD per assessmentComprehensive flora and fauna surveys that meet state and federal compliance requirements. Essential for development applications, conservation planning, and baseline monitoring.
Assessment Components
- Habitat quality and vegetation community mapping
- Flora species inventory with threatened species searches
- Fauna surveys including spotlighting, call playback, and camera trapping
- Hollow-bearing tree assessment
- Aquatic ecology assessment if water bodies present
- Impact analysis and mitigation recommendations
- Formal report compliant with relevant legislation
Typical assessment covers 5-20 hectares with multiple site visits across seasons when required for migratory or cryptic species detection.
Riparian Zone Management
From $6,890 AUD per projectHealthy riparian zones prevent erosion, filter runoff, and create wildlife corridors. We stabilize streambanks while enhancing ecological function through native plantings and structural improvements.
Project Scope
- Streambank erosion assessment and risk mapping
- Hydraulic analysis of flow patterns and scour zones
- Bioengineering solutions including coir logs and brush mattresses
- Native vegetation corridor design for width and species composition
- Installation of root mass plantings and stake cuttings
- Stock exclusion fencing where grazing pressure exists
- Maintenance program with replacement plantings
We work on creek lines, drainage channels, and river frontages from small rural properties to multi-kilometer regional projects coordinated with catchment authorities.
Invasive Species Control
$4,125 AUD per hectare annuallyStrategic management of environmental weeds and pest animals that threaten native ecosystems. Long-term control requires understanding weed biology and regeneration patterns.
Program Elements
- Weed mapping by species and density rating
- Prioritization based on threat level and feasibility
- Staged removal to prevent erosion and secondary invasion
- Application methods suited to terrain and species (hand removal, cut-and-paint, targeted spray)
- Follow-up treatment of regrowth and seedlings
- Native regeneration support including direct seeding
- Annual monitoring and adaptive management
Common targets include lantana, privet, camphor laurel, blackberry, and exotic grasses. We coordinate with neighbors for catchment-scale approaches when needed.
Environmental Impact Reports
$7,650 AUD per reportDetailed ecological impact statements for development proposals, infrastructure projects, and planning applications. Our reports withstand scrutiny from regulatory authorities and meet all legislative requirements.
Report Deliverables
- Site context analysis including regional biodiversity values
- Field surveys for flora, fauna, and habitat features
- Threatened species likelihood and targeted searches
- Impact assessment on direct, indirect, and cumulative scales
- Avoidance, minimization, and offset recommendations
- Compliance mapping against federal and state legislation
- Management plans for construction and operational phases
Suitable for EPBC Act referrals, state significant development, rezoning applications, and voluntary environmental due diligence.
Ongoing Land Stewardship
$2,890 AUD per quarterRestoration doesn't end when planting finishes. This partnership program provides ongoing ecological oversight, adaptive management, and documentation of outcomes over years.
Quarterly Services
- Site inspection with photographic documentation
- Plant survival assessment and replacement identification
- Weed emergence monitoring and spot treatment
- Fauna usage observation including new species records
- Maintenance recommendations for next quarter
- Annual comprehensive report with trend analysis
- Grant application support for ongoing funding opportunities
Ideal for properties with conservation covenants, offset sites requiring long-term management, or landowners committed to continuous ecological improvement.
