Rehabilitation Plans
Typically the rehabilitation of a site is undertaken after a construction phase or disturbance, at which point the intention is to restore the environment to a state that approximates the original pre-construction condition. Alternatively, the rehabilitation can also take the format of improving the natural state of a parcel of land that may have become degraded by processes such as alien infestation, erosion, etc.
Rehabilitation plans typically require detailed assessment in terms of determining historic baseline conditions and thereby formulating site-specific principles that can aid with the restoration of the environment. An important aspect of any rehabilitation plan is to stabilise the landscape feature or the landform and reinstate the natural habitat before implementing measures to prevent any future degradation.
