Environment Projects

Tully Plantation Wetland Assessment

Constructing a teak plantation in Tully is not just a matter of planting the trees. There are a number of environmental implications which resulted in the client approaching THG to confirm buffer areas surrounding wetland areas on their site.

Emu Park Stormwater Management Plan

The protected salt marsh environment on this site represented a highly sensitive ecological challenge for THG. Representing the interface between tidal and terrestrial environments, this inter-tidal fish nursery area required a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan to mitigate against environmental damage.

Kallangur Rehabilitation Management Plan

Rehabilitation Management Plans are fast becoming a standard requirement for Councils approving development applications.

For this project, THG put together a park and drainage rehabilitation management plan for a new residential development.

Life Cycle Modelling for Stormwater Treatment

The Logan City Council were looking for ways to encourage developers to be more environmentally conscious when they approached THG to develop a Life Cycle Cost Model for overland flow channels.

Broadlakes (Breakwater Road)

Creating a high quality urban infill master planned community on a site located on the fringe of the Guragunba flood plain on Queensland’s Gold Coast was no mean feat for THG. After obtaining approval for the first stages of the 73ha site, THG’s next challenge was to negotiate with the Gold Coast City Council to allow a mixed use development comprising residential, tourist resort, small scale commercial and retail uses.
