Australian Landscape Management in collaboration with the Centre for Urban Horticulture at Melbourne University has developed a range of services, collectively called, the Water Management Toolkit to support sustainable water use. We have recently provided services to support the City of Melbourne plan in which 70% of consumption is in the irrigation of parks and gardens.

Our sustainable water use services reflect our focus upon resource management and upon providing effective and flexible landscape management solutions and tools for landscape managers.
