Wetland Solutions was able to complete this project on-time and within budget. The project provided for the opportunity to establish native plant vegetation in a variety of situations and purposes at one location.

Works included:

• Kikuyu eradication
• Amenity, pond & raingarden
• Street trees (32)
• Plant supply (7,492)

Background

Universal Homes purchased farmland for a 3 year staged premium housing development that required a combination of revegetation, amenity, street tree and stormwater retention control plantings.

Purpose

• The project was designed to give the development road frontage appeal, raise its profile and fulfill the requirements of the resource consent conditions.

• It also intended to provide newly developed reserve areas for the public that extend existing council reserves and walkways in the area.

Scope

• Stage 1 – initial planting of the subdivision entry, including bank stabilisation planting and feature planting.

• Stage 2 – completion of planting, including further entry planting, street trees, traffic island, stormwater ponds and rain gardens.

• Stage 3 – stormwater retention control rain garden plantings.

• Ongoing maintenance – ecological weed control and plant replacements.
