Integrated Water Management Services in Melbourne

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

Integrating water management, ecosystem function and urban design means that Morphum’s expert team can design regenerative and liveable urban environments.

Our WSUD services focus on understanding any site within the context of its natural water cycle, ecological values and connected receiving environments to inform designs which effectively and intentionally mitigate water quality and quantity impacts and connects communities with water.

We incorporate green infrastructure, such as wetlands, raingardens and permeable pavements, into urban developments to support ecological health and leave a positive legacy on our environment and communities.

If you’re unsure of what would work best for your project, or would like technical advice, reach out and we can help.

Biodiversity & Habitat Restoration

Many of our unique habitats around Australia have experienced unprecedented challenges since the arrival of humans through both rural and urban land use change. These habitats and the endemic biodiversity they support are irreplaceable with most found nowhere else on earth.

With our passion, knowledge and experience with habitat restoration and enhancement projects, we have the opportunity to respect and revive these neglected areas, restoring biodiversity and ecosystem health to our landscape.

With our combined team of environmental scientists and engineers, we are motivated to support efforts to turn around the historical impacts and integrate thriving urban ecosystems back into the places we live.

Reach out to us to explore the ways we can support your project or community.

Streamworks

With our combined passion for the health of our waterways, Morphum delivers solutions that address current and future impacts on waterways.

By working on the health of the water first, we seek to give effect to the health of our communities, people and organisations.

Concept designed wetlands in Melbourne, Australia

Wetland Design

Wetlands naturally offer a wide range of ecological benefits, including water filtration, hydrology/flood management, diverse habitats for indigenous wildlife and community connection with nature.

Because of this, restoring historic wetlands, enhancing existing degraded wetlands and constructing wetlands to manage water quality is a priority. Morphum strives to maximise these widespread benefits, create natural spaces that enhance communities and biodiversity.

Climate Adaptation Planning

Well informed and locally responsive climate adaptation plans protect lives, habitats and critical infrastructure during current and future climate events.

Morphum support clients in protecting vulnerable natural resources, vital infrastructure and mitigating communities from the risks from flooding and coastal erosion with comprehensive plans that help communities go from reactive to proactive in preparation for the future.

Through combining spatial planning with applied climate and natural systems data we support public and private clients to understand risks, prioritise actions and develop bespoke and comprehensive plans which enable communities to continue to thrive in the face of uncertainty.

Our Integrated Water Management services help build resilience to many climate-extremities, to protect communities and ecosystems into the future.

With our combined passion for the health of our waterways, Morphum delivers solutions that address current and future impacts on waterways. By working on the health of the water first, we seek to give effect to the health of our communities, people and organisations.

We can help with:

Fish passage barrier remediation
Naturalised in-stream erosion protection and grade control structures
Stream planting plans which reflect the stream specific conditions
Hydrological and hydraulic analysis
Environmental Effects Statements (EES)
Watercourse assessments
Stormwater infrastructure design, including urban stream design, culverts, pipe networks, reuse and treatment practices, and storage detention/retention
Region-wide funding prioritisation
Compliance and monitoring

Wetland Design

Wetlands naturally offer a wide range of ecological benefits, including water filtration, hydrology/flood management, diverse habitats for indigenous wildlife and community connection with nature.

Regrettably, through land-use change and development Aotearoa New Zealand has lost over 90% of our freshwater and coastal wetlands with those that remain at continued threat.

Because of this, restoring historic wetlands, enhancing existing degraded wetlands and constructing wetlands to manage water quality is a priority. Morphum strives to maximise these widespread benefits, create natural spaces that enhance communities and biodiversity.

We can help with:

Urban and rural wetland design & construction supervision
Wetland mapping and landscape scale Geospatial Analysis
Drone Surveys
Wetland planting plans
Catchment Planning
Wetland walkways and community spaces
