Case Study

Aspect Studios helped plan and design the Victorian Desalination & Ecological Reserve, a 225-hectare ecological restoration area adjacent to a newly constructed desalination plant. The site, which had been denuded by grazing and mining operations, was revegetated with native species to reconnect an otherwise contiguous coastal habitat corridor.
