Sustainability

Sustainability at the heart of every design, delivering environmentally responsible outcomes for every project.

Embedding Sustainability in Every Stage of Design

Sustainability is integral to our civil design process. We specialise in integrating eco-friendly design principles across all developments, from car parks and residential subdivisions to commercial precincts and industrial sites. Our practical, outcomes-focused approach ensures compliance with environmental legislation and delivers long-term performance.

Sustainability

Integration of WSUD Elements

We design and integrate Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) elements such as raingardens, bio-retention systems, swales, and infiltration basins to manage stormwater and enhance environmental outcomes across urban and regional developments.

Stormwater Quality Treatment

We provide stormwater quality treatment design and utilise MUSIC (Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation) modelling to predict and optimise stormwater management, ensuring compliance with water quality standards.

WSUD Reports & Compliance

Our team prepares detailed WSUD reports and compliance documentation to meet local council and authority requirements, supporting your project’s approval process and environmental credentials.

ESD Input for Planning Permits

We offer expert input on Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) to meet planning permit requirements, helping to achieve energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable building practices in all developments.

Sustainability Strategies for Developments

We create tailored sustainability strategies for both urban and regional developments, ensuring your project is environmentally responsible, cost-effective, and aligned with current sustainability trends and regulations.

Compliance with Local Guidelines & Authorities

Our designs adhere to local council, Melbourne Water, and relevant planning authority guidelines, ensuring your project is compliant with all required sustainability and stormwater management regulations.
