Vegetation Management Plans and Biobanking
A Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) is a formal document detailing how vegetation is managed on a property and is usually linked to monitoring and reporting on the outcomes. It often accompanies development consents. A VMP can also be for conservation purposes and may be part of a Biobanking agreement. At Dragonfly, we cover all aspects of implementation, including:
- Supply of materials, including plants, mulch, soil, fencing, irrigation and signage.
- Project management, including machine works of ripping, tilling, spreading topsoil and mulch.
- Planting and associated on-ground works, including the supply and operation of irrigation.
- Vegetation maintenance (bush regeneration) – large and small scale. This can include the use of machines such as trimmers or chainsaws to fine-scale care of existing high-quality bushland.
- Habitat retention and re-creation, including supply and installation of nest boxes and habitat logs.
- Monitoring and reporting on milestones and providing sign-off on stages of development conditions.

Why do I need a vegetation management plan?
It helps guide practical works, supports compliance, and provides a clear framework for long-term ecological or asset management.
Can you create plans for development or environmental approvals?
Yes. Vegetation management plans can support planning, operational management, offsets, or approval conditions depending on the project.
Can you update an existing vegetation management plan?
Yes, we can revisit sites, monitor progress and adjust maintenance approaches as needed to support the success of an existing restoration or management plan.
