How Professionals Design Vegetation Management Plan

Vegetation Management Plans are undertaken to restore and manage bushland. These are often required when bushland abuts residential, rural, rural, or infrastructure developments. Often associated with Endangered Ecological Communities and threatened plants or fauna habitats, these areas are essential, and transparent management is required.  

 

With a background in soils, the company has been involved in restoring and managing native communities. The company undertakes a range of services from developing a Vegetation Management Plan and implementation on the ground to restoring ecosystems on barren ground.

 

Vegetation Management Plans are often requested as part of the Development Application process. Due to our years of experience writing VMPs and implementing the works on the ground, we provide well-thought-out plans that are cost-effective and efficient to implement. In addition, our focus has always been on ecological restoration; thus, viewing the flora and fauna ecology is focused on flora. As such, our plans offer meaningful gains in ecological values.  

 

It has been seen to be extremely valuable by local councils over the years as the progress and areas of our on-ground bushland and joined up to other areas of bushland, thus improving their integrity and viability.

 

A background in soils and agriculture assists our Restoration Ecology work on the ground in implementing our Vegetation Management Plans. We assess the soil's structure, nutrient, and water holding capacity, allowing us to plan our restoration works.  

 

Custom-designed watering systems are often used to provide for excellent plant growth in a short period and to bring plants via the hot summer. Our watering systems have achieved excellent results in periods of drought with high temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius.

 

We utilize the most cost-effective herbicide solutions for weed management and ecosystem maintenance, which are timed for maximum effectiveness. Overall our experience provides cost-effective solutions for our clients and highly pleasing visual outcomes as the work often version the visual backdrop for new home subdivisions.

 

Vegetation Management Plans and our experience implementing these plans on the ground to control weeds, stabilize soil and replant natives to restore ecosystems is essential for the ecology of such sites. We have undertaken many projects in Bush Regeneration and Ecosystem Rehabilitation over the years. It also involves the provision of fauna habitat through native site materials and artificial nest boxes.

 

Monitoring such works' progress is critical to their success, and monitoring of fauna recovery and use of nest boxes is also undertaken. Our techniques are innovative and get great results. For example, its custom-designed watering system uses special soil conditioners and fertilizers to enable rapid plant growth. The more the plants grow, the more quickly the maintenance costs are reduced, and with the natives shading out the weeds, less regular maintenance for weed control is required. 

 

The company undertakes monitoring for the Vegetation Management Plans to show the progression of the vegetation through time. It is a consent condition from most councils, and the data is quite valuable to vegetation management.
