In 2020, Victoria faced one of its worst bushfire seasons, with over 1.5 million hectares burned and countless communities affected. Bushfires not only devastate homes and infrastructure but also lead to significant environmental degradation. In the wake of such destruction, efficient and effective recovery efforts are crucial. Raw Earth Environmental, an esteemed environmental consultancy, played a pivotal role in the Victorian Government's bushfire recovery project. With a commitment to environmental restoration and community safety, Raw Earth Environmental provided comprehensive services to aid in the recovery process.
The bushfires in Victoria caused extensive damage, affecting both urban and rural areas. According to the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience, the fires resulted in over AUD 2 billion in property damage and economic loss. The fires also led to significant environmental degradation, including the destruction of habitats, contamination of water sources, and widespread disruption to local ecosystems. Communities faced numerous challenges, such as health risks from airborne pollutants, soil erosion, and the loss of biodiversity.
Recognising the urgent need for specialised recovery services, the Victorian Government enlisted Raw Earth Environmental. Their expertise in environmental consulting and project management was instrumental in addressing the multifaceted challenges of bushfire recovery.
