Level 2 fauna surveys at Meelup Regional Park (2015)
SW environmental completed, with a contract zoologist, an intensive Level 2 fauna survey of the spectacular 11.5 kilometre long (~575 ha) Meelup Regional Park. The surveys were carried out for nghenvironmental, commissioned by the Meelup Regional Park Management Committee on behalf of the City of Busselton and Lotterywest. Along with numerous threatened species, many fauna species were recorded that had not officially been found in the Park.
GIS mapping and Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) input for environmental approvals associated with two large scale solar farms in regional NSW (2016)
SW environmental (through nghenvironmental, for Neoen) provided GIS mapping services and technical input into the VIAs for two large scale solar farms. They included the Parkes Solar Farm – up to 240 hectares of ground mounted solar panels approximately 10km west of Parkes in NSW, and the Griffith Solar Farm – up to 120 hectares of ground mounted solar panels approximately 7km south-east of Griffith in NSW.

Environmental and planning feasibility study for a large-scale (150 MW) solar PV project in NSW (2015)
The Australian Government allocated $100 million to support large-scale solar photovoltaics (PV) projects and reduce the costs of PV in Australia. A renewable energy company was investigating the feasibility of developing a large-scale (up to 150 MW) solar PV project through the program in country NSW. SW environmental undertook a high level desktop risk assessment summarising the risks associated with the environmental and planning aspects of the project.
