Land Eco Consulting provide ongoing Ecological services required as part of the Development Conditions for the Wyvern Private Hospital at Terrey Hills in Sydney.  

Wyvern Private Hospital is an 84-bed private surgical and rehabilitation hospital currently under construction at 33A Myoora Road, Terrey Hills on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches.

The hospital opened in 2025

Surrounded by pristine bushland, the $98 million Wyvern Private Hospital is a purpose-built facility delivering specialist medical services including spinal surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, pain management and ophthalmology.

Facilities designed by doctors include seven operating theatres, one catheterisation laboratory, 56 surgical inpatient beds, 20 rehabilitation beds, eight ICU beds, associated clinical support units – including radiology, pathology, hydrotherapy and pharmacy – a 148-space car park and consulting suites.

Bringing together a unique blend of nature, architecture and medicine, Wyvern Private Hospital will create an exceptional environment where our philosophy of 'Care without Compromise' will benefit our patients, doctors and staff alike.

Land Eco provided the biodiversity advice that enabled Wyvern to win the 2025  Urban Developer Award for Excellence in Sustainability.

Land Eco Consulting  is delighted to announce we are part of the ASPECT Studios led team which will design the green heart for Bradfield City Centre in Western Sydney.
Australia's newest city!
 

Our team’s proposal for a city park that embodies the natural beauty of the Cumberland Plain has been selected as the winner of a design competition for the project.
 

The park will give form to the identity of Bradfield as it develops in tandem with Western Sydney International Airport, providing a place of respite and recreation for an emerging community.
 

Announced by the NSW Western Parkland City Authority, the winning scheme was designed by ASPECT Studios, architects Collins and Turner Architects, cultural consultant and Baramadagal woman of Dharug Country Jayne Christian, curatorial collaborator Emily McDaniel from the Wiradjuri Nation, artist Janet Laurence, structural engineers Eckersley O'Callaghan and lighting designer Steensen Varming.

Land Eco Consulting helped our Byron Shire Council submit a development application (DA), to the Northern Regional Planning Panel of NSW.

The approved  Byron Bay Bioenergy Facility will be constructed within the existing Byron Bay Sewage Treatment Facility and is a first of its kind in Australia. It will involve anaerobic digestion which is cleaner than conventional bioenergy facilities. When operating it will generate 24/7 dispatchable and controllable renewable energy 365 days a year. Approximately 4 million kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity. The equivalent of powering 267 households per year.  Enough renewable energy to power the facility itself, and the Byron Bay Sewage Treatment Plant. Any excess would be available for dispatch back into the grid. A nutrient-rich, low-carbon compost by-product for local farmland and small growers.

Land Eco prepared the Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) for this unique and Australian first project. Part of the process required our expert Ecologists to undertake targeted surveys for threatened fauna/flora 'species credit' species that were predicted to occur on the site. Land Eco carried-out surveys using best practice guidelines and confirmed the absence of several locally important threatened 'species credits' confirming that the development is suitable for the location and should proceed without risk of significant impact to threatened species or ecological communities.

Land Eco assisted in devising the landscape planting and re-vegetation planting selections along with the biodiversity impact mitigation strategies to ensure the project is delivered in a sustainable and biodiversity-friendly manner.

Land Eco Consulting helped our client Vivacity Property develop and construct Stratford Gardens a major retirement village in south-western Sydney. 

Stratford Gardens provide much-needed housing and residential aged care facilities including over 200 seniors living dwellings proposed for the 11.4-hectare site at Tahmoor – located 95 kilometres south-west of Sydney CBD.

Land Eco prepared the Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) for this exciting project. Part of the process required our expert Ecologists to undertake targeted surveys for threatened fauna/flora 'species credit' species that were predicted to occur. 

Land Eco carried-out surveys using best practice guidelines and confirmed the absence of several predicted threatened 'species credits' saving the applicant over $2 million in biodiversity offset costs by averting the need for species credits.

Land Eco Consulting prepared the Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) to meet the requirements of a State Significant Development (SSD) for 'The Angophora' at  57-61 Archer Street & 34 Albert Avenue, Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia.

The Angophora is an award winning design that blends heritage-inspired architecture with ecological  design excellence. The design features a texturally rich brick podium that respects its historic neighbors while maximizing natural light and ventilation for residents. In a collaborative effort with Landscape Designer Land and Form and Town Planner Mecone,  Architect Carter Williamson have prioritised 'Designing with Country' and the activation of public spaces through art. 

The natural landscape will compliment native biodiversity, with 80% comprised of indigenous flora species representative of Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest in the planting schedule  and extensive deep-soil zones designed to enhance the urban tree canopy and provide serene, green communal spaces. 

This SSD was approved by NSW Department of Planning in November 2025.

Land Eco Consulting prepared a Flora & Fauna Impact Assessment Report (including 5 Part Test of Significance), also known as an Ecological Impact Assessment for a client who sought a development application (DA) in Sydney, Australia.

Land Eco assessed the development impacts, ensuring maximum development potential with minimum impact to biodiversity. As a result we helped our client maximise potential for DA approval.
