Ecology & Science

Morphum Environmental is guided by the philosophy of ecosystem-based management embracing the relationship between people and our natural environment. We view our natural environment through a wide lens that includes ecological, social, recreational, amenity and economic values.

Morphum’s team of environmental scientists have a deep understanding and experience of ecology and environmental regulations. We’ll work with you to navigate the regulatory process and ensure any ecological impacts are appropriately managed, avoided, mitigated, remedied or offset.

Restoration Planning

Restoring an area of our environment takes a lot of work, fortunately Morphum embraces this complexity to enable restoration projects. With geospatial tools and ecological understanding to plan a restoration project, and the engineering ability to design and manage execution, our expert teams are perfectly positioned for restoration planning projects.

Our past restoration projects include streamworks, wetland design & construction, native planting plans, and ongoing monitoring of restored sites.

Integrated Water Management

Morphum Environmental’s approach to Integrated Water Management (IWM) planning begins by gaining a comprehensive understanding of your water networks.

We follow a comprehensive and collaborative process to examine water networks and establish fundamental data to develop an effective IWM plan.

With fundamental data established, an effective IWM is no longer a pipe dream. Our expert team of geospatial specialists, civil and environmental engineers and urban water planners deliver an IWM strategy that is interactive and versatile with an online tool that can be used for ongoing planning, monitoring and reporting.

Environmental Legislation

With so many variables involved in our environment, the policies created to protect and restore are often just as complex.

Our consultation in this space offers us greater insight into how to interpret and implement national and local government policy, so we can help our clients understand what this means for their project, assets and organisation.
