About Us
Sustainability
Resimax Group is committed to sustainable development, and we strive to conserve and enhance precious natural resources in our work.
Environmental Conservation Fund
OSEY Pty Ltd, a division of Resimax Group, was created to manage the environmental vision of the company through the acquisition of properties both independently and through partnerships with other landowners. Under strict guidelines imposed by Victorian Government legislation, OSEY preserves and rehabilitates native habitat on these properties to protect Australia’s unique flora and fauna.
As Resimax Group provides land and homes for our ever-increasing human population, OSEY purchases, restores and preserves land and habitat for precious native plants and wildlife. Maintaining this balance is vital for the Group and the wider community.
Project Initiatives
Class A
Recycled Water
Each household has two water supplies – drinking and Class A water. Recycled water is treated to Class A standard and is supplied to homes through purple-coloured pipes. Each property will have two separate meters, one for drinking water and the other for recycled water.
Water Treatment
Plant
Resimax Group has also developed an on-site recycled water treatment plant which converts Class C water into Class A for use on Eynesbury’s Golf Course. This significantly reduces the amount of fresh water required for irrigation and will ensure the golf course is looking green all year round.
On-site
Native Nursery
Resimax Group has plans to establish an on-site native nursery. Once established, it will be an environmentally friendly initiative that will utilise the on-site water treatment plant and supply native plant species direct from within the project to new front yards as they are landscaped.
Passive
Irrigation
Given the west of Melbourne typically receives approximately half of Melbourne’s annual rainfall, it’s important to capture as much storm water runoff for passive irrigation of streetscapes. During the services planning phase, the engineers and landscape architects work hand in hand to maximise the number of passive irrigation pits to service as many street trees as possible. This also helps to reduce pollutants and minimise runoff into the existing creeks and river systems.
Our Environmental
Conservation team
Our conservation team have an extraordinary breadth of experience, from working in national parks in the Northern Territory and public reserves around Melbourne, to maintaining conservation areas in South Africa, and even running animal shelters in the jungles of Ecuador. They are now bringing their conservation skills and expertise to the management of Resimax group’s OSEY conservation sites.
Stories from the wild
Many native plants require fire as part of their lifecycle. However, since European settlement, fire regimes have been disrupted, and our grasslands have had a loss in biodiversity as a result. We are excited to announce that we will be conducting cool, ecological burns back to our grasslands this autumn and spring to stimulate native grasses and wildflowers and increase the biodiversity of these grasslands.
Our team has partnered with Wildlife Victoria and Gordon Wildlife Alliance to use our OSEY conservation areas as ‘soft release’ sites for injured animals. Many rehabilitated wildlife lack suitable release locations, often due to being orphaned or habitat destruction, and soft releases such as this will enhance their chances of successful reintroduction into the wild. This collaboration has earned recognition from Wildlife Victoria, positioning us as leaders in the field.
