Projects
With experience and expertise across the spectrum of creating, managing and maintaining outdoor spaces, Xyst has had a big impact on communities throughout New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
Feel free to browse through the case studies below to find out how we have helped council, local government and other people working in the public sector to find solutions for projects.
Southland District Council
Xyst developed and defined levels of service for Southland District Council’s open spaces and community facilities to better enable them to define what it will deliver to its communities and ensure that the delivery continues to be sustainable.
Southland District Council
The vegetation plan was needed as part of a review of the Manapouri Foreshore Reserve Management Plan to provide guidance around preservation of indigenous vegetation, view shaft protection and risk mitigation.
Nelson City Council
Nelson City Council has at various times during 2020 to 2022 requested that Xyst staff carry out contract performance auditing of open space maintenance operations in sports parks, cemeteries and street gardens.
Waikato District Council
Over a period of several months prior to the procurement of a tree maintenance contract, a team of two travelled through the Waikato capturing data about all street and park trees that are the responsibility of the Waikato District Council.
Whangarei District Council
The review identified current open space provision, preferred provision levels of service for current and future open space and park provision, and acquisition and development requirements for additional park land to meet future community needs.
Yarra Ranges Council
The trail survey allowed the Yarra Rages Council to better understand how these trails were being used and by whom, what the user valued about the trails and what suggestions they had for change, and what the economic value of the trails are to the region.
Matamata-Piako District Council
This project was required to establish consistency in approach to streetscaping within and between communities in the Matamata-Piako District, and to provide robust guidelines for service delivery. Deliverables were incorporated into the review of the Open Space Strategy.
