The Challenge
The Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water faced an unprecedented technical challenge: creating a national platform that could support real-time environmental impact calculations for Australia's new Nature Repair Market.
The Platform for Land and Nature Repair (PLANR) needed to enable landholders anywhere across Australia to instantly assess biodiversity and carbon benefits of proposed projects at sub-property scale.
Traditional environmental assessment methods were fundamentally inadequate for this vision. Existing approaches required weeks or months of manual analysis, relied on static datasets, and couldn't support the interactive, on-demand calculations needed for a user-friendly web platform.
Most critically, the calculations couldn't be performed on individual pixels but required complex analysis of surrounding environmental context—habitat connectivity, ecosystem interactions, and landscape-scale biodiversity patterns.
The Solution
DCCEEW partnered with Haizea Analytics to leverage the Terrak.io platform's unique real-time analytics capabilities, creating Australia's first national environmental markets platform with instant impact assessment functionality.
Real-Time Environmental Analysis
Terrak.io's cloud-based architecture enables instant calculations across Australia's entire landmass, with advanced algorithms analyzing environmental context at landscape scale.
Unique Technical Capabilities
First-of-its-kind real-time calculation of habitat connectivity changes—a capability not available anywhere else. Multi-scale environmental modeling delivers complex impact assessments within seconds.
Platform Integration
Terrak.io provides the complete backend infrastructure enabling PLANR's user-friendly web interface, hosting all environmental datasets required for national-scale analysis.
The world's first platform enabling instant calculation of habitat connectivity changes across continental scales—powered by Terrak.io's advanced scripting language and scalable processing infrastructure.
How It Works
The platform solved critical technical challenges that previously limited environmental assessment capabilities
Continental-Scale Real-Time Processing
Terrak.io's distributed processing architecture handles massive environmental datasets across Australia, enabling instant analysis that would typically require supercomputer resources.
Contextual Environmental Analysis
Advanced algorithms analyse landscape-scale environmental patterns rather than individual pixels, providing scientifically rigorous habitat connectivity and ecosystem impact assessments.
Seamless Integration
The platform's API architecture integrates complex environmental calculations with user-friendly web interfaces, making sophisticated analysis accessible to landholders without technical expertise.
Operational Scalability
The infrastructure supports Australia's growing environmental markets, enabling thousands of simultaneous users to access real-time environmental analysis capabilities.
Real-Time Habitat Connectivity
The world's first platform enabling instant calculation of habitat connectivity changes across continental scales
Our Technology enabled PLANR to:
Calculate habitat connectivity in real-time: across continental scales - the world's first platform enabling instant analysis of environmental impact that previously took days or weeks to complete.
Deliver sub-5-second response times: for complex environmental calculations, enabling interactive project planning and immediate decision-making where landholders previously waited hours for results.
Scale to national infrastructure: providing 24/7 access to scientifically rigorous habitat connectivity analysis for thousands of simultaneous users across Australia's environmental markets.
Power Australia's Nature Repair Market: with the technical foundation that enables landholders to instantly assess project viability and environmental benefits with confidence and precision.
