Environmental | To maintain sensitive environments, you need a team that knows the job and has a passion for biodiversity.
Urbans’ Environmental team has been conducting programmed maintenance for the City of Playford at Munno Para Wetlands.
The work includes site inspections, recording and monitoring the wetland system’s health, including abundance of wildlife and species sighted, and implementing appropriate management plans.
On ground works include rubbish removal, targeted w**d control via spot spraying, woody w**d treatment and removal, brush cutting and mowing, algaecide treatment programs and pest fauna species management.
These works maintain a healthy ecosystem within the wetland environment, supporting council’s environmental water retention and usage goals.

Safety Culture | Data demonstrates that approximately 3,000 Australians take their lives each year and 87% of people who die from su***de have a diagnosable mental illness at the time of death.
Mental Health First Aid Australia lists the main reasons people give for attempting su***de as:
• Needing to escape or relieve unmanageable emotions or thoughts, they feel their situation is hopeless, they feel worthless, and believe others would be better off without them, or
• They want others to know how they feel, or to change how others treat them.
People are at greater risk of su***de if they have:
• a mental illness
• a disability or poor physical health
• have attempted su***de or have harmed themselves in the past
• have had something bad happen to them recently
• been physically or sexually abused as a child
Data also demonstrates that su***de is more common among men, indigenous groups, the unemployed, and LGBTIQ+ people.
These issues are as prevalent in the outdoor asset management industry as any other.
That’s why Urbans has linked with to ensure our team has access to the support they need when they need it.
Mates in Construction provide a free and confidential helpline that provides mental health and wellbeing support.

The spruce up included irrigation maintenance, planting and mulching.
We love supporting footy and hope everyone loves Gather Round as much as we enjoyed doing this work.

Safety Culture | Cancer Council research shows that many of us aren’t regularly using sun protection. As we’ve seen this week, there’s still plenty of bite in the sun, despite autumn having started.
As part of our staff safety toolboxes, this month we are encouraging all our team to be SunSmart and slop on broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30+ or higher 20 minutes prior to leaving the depot and then to reapply every two hours.
