High hydraulic conductivity means the Filterra® Bioscape requires as little as 10% of the footprint of conventional treatment devices, allowing more space for development or recreation.

Manufactured in New Zealand from locally sourced materials, the Filterra® Bioscape complements Low Impact Design (LID) principles. New Zealand native plant species promote biodiversity, community and cultural outcomes.

Only the mulch layer needs to be replaced every 6-12 months, sourced from an approved third-party supplier. Under normal conditions, the media and plants should not need replacing. Planting, commissioning and 12 months of maintenance are included in the supply of the Filterra® Bioscape.

Filterra® Bioscape offers substantial cost benefits when compared to traditional devices. The smaller footprint results in more developable areas with less earthworks, and maintenance does not require a specialised contractor. A Life Cycle Cost report is available on request.

Filterra® Bioscape media undergoes at least 25 quality assurance assessments to ensure pollutant removal, hydraulic conductivity and performance over time. Each batch takes over a month to produce and is guaranteed to not leach or transform contaminants such as phosphorus or copper. Plant trials have established successful plants for the long-term health of the system, and rigorous third-party tests in New Zealand, Canada, USA and Australia are available to demonstrate its TSS, metals and nutrient removal capabilities.

The Filterra® Bioscape offers a packaged design solution for large biofiltration systems, collaboratively designed to suit individual project needs, site conditions, and landscaping requirements. Stormwater360 provides comprehensive support from initial design consultation to regulatory engagement, detailed design, construction assistance, and ongoing operation and maintenance, ensuring successful implementation and long-term effectiveness of green infrastructure projects.
