Landscape mitigation and restoration are central to achieving enduring, high-quality outcomes from development. Mansergh Graham can design mitigation and restoration responses that are directly linked to identified landscape, natural character and visual effects, and that can be clearly understood and secured through conditions and management plans.
Our landscape mitigation and restoration services include:
- Mitigation strategies and concept frameworks, aligning mitigation and restoration responses with assessment findings, policy direction and project objectives.
- Earth shaping and landform design, including bunds, cut and fill design, rehabilitation profiles and contouring to achieve naturalistic, cohesive landforms.
- Planting design and restoration planning, using appropriate indigenous and amenity species to restore vegetation patterns, riparian margins, wetlands, coastal edges, gullies and slopes.
- Visual screening and integration planting, targeting key view corridors and skylines to soften built form, break up engineered elements and reinforce existing landscape patterns.
- Offset, enhancement and compensation packages, identifying and designing landscape and natural character enhancements that respond to effects and local opportunities.
- Landscape management and rehabilitation plans, setting out clear implementation, maintenance, staging and performance standards for mitigation and restoration works.
- Monitoring and adaptive management frameworks, providing measures, triggers and review processes to ensure mitigation and restoration outcomes are achieved and maintained over time.
