Constructed wetland designed and restored by Morphum Environmental's water sensitive design team

Wetland Design
& Restoration

Wetlands are complex ecosystems that can mitigate a suite of urban and rural contaminants, reduce flood risk, sequester carbon, create beautiful community spaces and restore native biodiversity. With a passion for design, restoration and ecological engineering services, we can support the development of nature-based solutions to modern issues.

Nature-based & water sensitive engineering

Contact Us ▸
Morphum provides investigation, design and construction support for constructed wetland design for both public and private organisations.

No two wetland areas are the same, and designs need to be tailored to local climate, landform, catchment characteristics  & communities to enhance their local area. Constructed wetland designs typically support stormwater management (in terms of water quality and quantity), community amenity and enhanced ecological outcomes.

With wetland design and other water-sensitive design skillsets, Morphum can support the development of nature-based solutions in your community.

Water Sensitive Urban Design

Morphum's passion and understanding of the complex environments in which we work enables us to drive projects which improve the urban environment for nature and communities alike.

Through integrating the planning and design of holistic systems to manage urban contaminants, mimic natural hydrology reduce demand on potable water supply and reduce risks from wastewater contamination we seek efficient and effective solutions to complex challenges.

We incorporate green infrastructure, such as wetlands, rain gardens and permeable pavements, into urban developments to support ecological health and leave a positive legacy on our environment and communities.
