LBS Land Use Model



LBS’ “Local Biodiversity Land Use Model” was created to enable the mainstream restoration of natural habitats destroyed within the urban footprint.
Using a diverse array of LBS’s proven case studies, the company formulated a standardised environmental design, development and management system to facilitate the successful restoration/recreation of lost habitats for every form of urban land use.  Though each scenario was unique in terms of industry, location and other limiting factors, the model’s application and positive environmental, social and economic outcomes are universal.

This model is premised squarely within the context of “geographically specific” environmental restoration as each area has unique factors that interdependently influence, shape and sustain it, be it the flora, fauna, temperature, rainfall, light, soil type, altitude, etc. 

The commonly used terms, “indigenous” and “native” have become too ambiguous to accurately describe the chain of interconnected components that sustain habitats and indeed the life of us all!  It is sad that such terminology has paved the way for an anthropocentric “green” movement that has no ability to sustain man or itself as it has no substantial ecological value.  By using nature’s infinite blueprint of local biodiversity, our acclaimed model provides the benchmark to self sustainable land use that no “green” model can.

LBS Benefits/Outcomes

Unlike conventional landscaped “gardens”, our local biodiversity developed environments are managed as environmental reserves and address the following greater issues:

  • Ecologically sustainable resource utilization
  • The healthiest urban environment for people to live and work in
  • Maintain natural ecosystem, life supporting functions
  • Reduce the negative impacts of industrial and urban sprawl on the natural environment
  • Sustainable carbon uptake (reducing carbon footprint)
  • Eliminates need for irrigation  
  • Reduction of maintenance, manpower and resource input costs
  • Elimination of additives (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides)
  • Greater Interaction Between People and the Natural Environment
