Services for local government
Cost-effective specialist ecological advice. Municipality or precinct-wide native vegetation, habitat & weed assessments and strategies, assistance with the implementation of State planning requirements, roadside conservation management advice. Water-sensitive urban design and ecologically-oriented landscape design.
Abzeco advises local government on botanical, zoological, ecological and surface water management issues.
We assist in the identification and prioritization of municipality-wide conservation issues, map remnants and provide weed control strategies. We undertake roadside botanical surveys, conservation assessments and environmental works planning. We are skilled in revegetation and restoration and provide feasible high-quality works specifications for restoration and revegetation contractors to undertake.
The ecological assessment of land is now a crucial component of sustainable planning, and Abzeco has considerable expertise in the assessment of potential development lands and in the strategic prioritisation of areas for conservation purposes.
Sensible, scientifically justified, placement of overlays greatly improves the effectiveness of Council conservation objectives towards achieving conservation objectives within municipalities. The regulatory tools available for guiding developers / permit applicants planning are of maximum value when applied before a permit to develop the land is received by Council.
The Victorian Native Vegetation Management Framework is placing increasingly technical knowledge demands on municipal planners. We provide advice on implementation of the Framework and objective verification of the results of other consultant's work. We are very familiar with Habitat Hectares system and can scrutinize the reports of others.
Our engineers and ecologists work together to provide water-sensitive urban design solutions that achieve water-quality objectives whilst enhancing ecosystem function.
