Projects
TREC Land Services is either currently engaged or recently completed a diverse range of projects for a number of different public and private clients.
Municipal Wide Roadside Conservation Value Assessments – City of Greater Shepparton, Nillumbik Shire, Mitchell Shire, Murrindindi Shire and Corangamite Shire
Roadside conservation surveys have been periodically undertaken by many Local Government's across Victoria since the 1990s, however often a comprehensive survey of all roadsides during the same season had never been conducted. TREC Land Services have delivered surveys of every managed roadside within a number of local government areas, and conducted targeted threatened species surveys for many. We produce a comprehensive set of maps that show the latest conservation value of every roadside. We then work with Council's to develop recommendations that will assist in the improvement of their roadside conservation.
Melbourne Water Stream Frontage Assessor Program
The Melbourne Water Steam Frontage Management Program has been funding small land management projects for landholders to improve the quality of their stream-side vegetation for over two decades. TREC Land Services work directly with landholders to provide land management advice, assess the outcomes of their efforts and make funding recommendations to Melbourne Water.
Property owners within the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Area who adjoin waterways are encouraged to call or email for more information, or can contact Melbourne Water directly at https://www.melbournewater.com.au/community-and-education/apply-funding/stream-frontage-management-program
Hume Link West, NSW
HumeLink West is a major energy infrastructure project in NSW, involving the expansion of the existing Wagga Wagga 330 kV substation, and the design and construction of a new substation at Gugaa and connection works to the future Maragle 500 kV substation. The project also includes a new 500 kV double circuit transmission line to connect the substations at the Wondalga interface point with HumeLink East. The project requires extensive easements to be build across NSW, and TREC are completing assessments of connectivity corridors for rare and threatened species for the project. We are delivering ecological assessments, flora & fauna surveys and habit assessments on easement clearing for the new power infrastructure, through National & State Parks. The project is spanning a 4 to 5 year period.
