Maintenance Management Plans of open space includes:

 

  • Project Area Plan
  • Define the Maintenance Zones
  • Define the Maintenance Activities
  • Site Specific Monitoring Reports
  • Adaptive management expectations
  • Maintenance Schedules
  • Maintenance Costing
  • Prepare cost estimates for the implantation of the management plans and associated works, including maintenance cost projections (CPI Index at 3.6%)
  • Asset Protection Zone (APZ)
  • Monitoring Inspection forms
  • Maintenance scheduling & periods
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Entrance Statements”][vc_column_text]ENTRY STATEMENTS are an intriguing element of landscape planning. Entry Statements mark and define the entry to a property, establishment or an estate.  They enhance the character of streetscapes and improve legibility and orientation to the local residency & visitors.
