Why choose Acacia Environmental?
Environmental Services
The very essence of our work is to conserve the ecological, recreational, wildlife and cultural assets of Victoria’s natural environment - and its biodiversity values - to the highest integrity. Our 150 qualified and technically experienced staff offer a wide range of environmental solutions that can accurately evaluate, monitor, manage and conserve Victoria's ecological and natural habitats in accordance to the needs of the businesses and communities that use them.
Our ecological land managers are out in the field monitoring environmental problems, everyday.
We provide our clients complete protection from risk, when it comes to environmental compliance and regulation.
Instead of herbicides, we use 100% natural water - heated to 99°Celsius - to effectively obliterate a plant’s cell structure.
We plan and design landscapes in harmony with Victoria's native ecology, to increase biodiversity and promote sustainability.
The Acacia Environmental team comprises of ecological land managers and scientists who are either out in the field monitoring and assessing everyday environmental problems or behind the office desk developing data-driven preventative programs.
We work closely with our clients to provide a wide range of tailored, integrated environmental services across a variety of industries, applications and settings.
Our qualified and experienced team of ecological consultants have deep knowledge of relevant legislation to ensure all projects adhere to appropriate acts, regulations and guidelines. We support our clients in the assessment, testing and management of land contamination through site investigations, water and soil sampling / analysis, remedial action plans and legislative guidance.
We provide an environmentally responsible, chemical-free and highly effective service to combat invasive species, using Heatweed® technology. Heatweed® is an award-winning thermal system, using 100% natural hot water together with patented technology, scientifically proven to have a systemic effect on a plant’s roots. Heatweed® also safely sanitises high-risk common surfaces, exposing viruses and bacteria to super-hot-99°C-water, killing them instantly.
