General infrastructure projects often trigger clearing permits, heritage interfaces, and conditions that require practical controls on site. Budgets and access windows are tight, and many works occur within live operations. We map the approvals pathway, identify constraints early, and prepare regulator ready submissions that reduce iterations and protect program. You get clear actions, fewer surprises, and faster decisions.
We deliver approvals, flora and fauna surveys, environmental impact assessments, and contractor friendly environmental management plans. During delivery we provide site inductions, fauna pre clearance, erosion and sediment controls, spill response planning, and daily compliance records. Our team coordinates offsets, rehabilitation planning, and environmental monitoring programs so evidence is consistent and audit ready. Everything is aligned with construction sequencing and superintendent requirements.
We know that trust is earned, not given. The best way to understand our commitment to quality is to hear directly from the people we have helped. Here’s what they have to say about working with us.

We have worked with Shane and his team at SW Environmental on projects big and small for well over a decade. They have always provided professional advice and service on even the most sensitive and difficult of sites and situations. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
Shane and the SW Environmental team have a solid understanding of ecology in the South West Region and provide invaluable services on Black Cockatoo and Western Ringtail Possum, from baseline surveys to environmental impact assessment to fauna pre-clearance and relocation.
Our portfolio includes depot upgrades, water and wastewater assets, power facilities, community buildings, and operational yard improvements across the South West. We have delivered survey programs, approvals, and construction environmental support WA that stand up in audits and practical field use. Results include fewer requests for information and faster approvals that keep delivery on schedule.
Our specialists bring the insight, clarity, and reliability needed to deliver efficient, compliant, and stress-free project outcomes.
Senior consultants lead each project from start to finish. Each project is carefully overseen by a Certified Environmental Practitioner (CEnvP) accredited with EIANZ.
We offer the expertise of a major firm, but with lower costs, and a level of personal engagement big corporates simply can’t match.
Local recognised expertise with over 100 years’ experience in the region within their respective fields.
Southwest WA is a biodiversity hotspot which creates unique challenges for projects. We are recognised regional experts surveying and managing black
cockatoos and Western Ringtail
Possums.
We are centrally located in the
southwest region and can mobilise teams quickly at a lower cost. Our authorised fauna spotting team have a specific license for urgent works no hold ups.
Our competitive pricing reflects our experience not quality. You get big-firm confidence without the big-firm price tag.
Senior consultants lead the work you receive and remain involved through delivery. Our local knowledge, lean overheads, and hands on approach produce clear, defensible documents without delay or excess cost. We integrate with design and construction teams and maintain open communication with agencies so project environmental compliance WA is straightforward.
Call us for free preliminary advice on your likely approval pathways, timelines and costs.
Start with a short call or send drawings and scope. You will receive a quick risk view, a recommended pathway, and a detailed quote with inclusions and timeframes. We then schedule surveys or submissions and keep you updated until approvals and site controls are in place.
Allow two to eight weeks once inputs are ready. We sequence surveys and drafting so approvals land before procurement and early works, which reduces the risk of hold ups.
Many sites need an infrastructure flora fauna survey and constraints mapping to confirm clearing limits and habitat risks. We scope the level of effort to match risk and produce data that is defensible and practical for design.
We brief crews, manage fauna pre clearance where required, and implement erosion and sediment controls and spill response measures. Daily records and photos support project environmental compliance WA and make audits simple.
Yes. We design monitoring programs with clear methods and trigger levels so results are reliable and easy to report. This keeps maintenance works compliant without disrupting operations.
Provide a site plan, scope of works, timing, and any previous studies. We close data gaps quickly and prepare regulator ready documentation that aligns with your construction sequence.
We assess the change, advise if a modification is needed, and update reports or permits promptly. Our goal is to keep the program moving while maintaining clean compliance records.
We believe in a straightforward approach to every project. No jargon, no fluff, just practical, expert solutions designed to get you from point A to point B as efficiently as possible.

Main Roads (South West Region) has engaged Shane Priddle of SW environmental on several occasions over the past four years to undertake environmental assessments and fauna surveys as well as arrange for additional surveys by other consultants to supplement the assessment reports.
We have found that Shane communicates well, making appropriate inquiries to clarify issues, is helpfully suggestive and is responsive to feedback. He has shown that he is able to manage multiple projects to meet completion deadlines with quality reports for complex projects.
Shane has been engaged by NGH Environmental for a number of projects which I have managed. Shane has completed GIS mapping work and environmental impact assessment tasks. Shane has been an asset to the team due to his expertise in mapping combined with his impact assessment knowledge. I have found Shane’s work to be of a high quality and he has always been able to meet project deadlines. A couple of projects which Shane was involved in were complex, particularly the mapping due to numerous design changes and Shane’s background in ecology was invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Shane to other clients.
Our group has found SW Environmental to be very professional. Shane has been very helpful in assisting us, and we have found his reports to be to be very thorough, delivered in a timely manner, and very good value for money. I am happy to recommend him for such projects.
On a project of this scale land access is one of the major hurdles for completing in a timely manner. Shane Priddle was in constant contact with Western Powers field officers discussing land access and the field officers were able to help sufficiently. What ensued was the timely delivery of a flora and fauna survey over a 300km long alignment.
The reports for the survey were of a high quality, specifically the maps that were produced were great and the GIS data was provided to Western Power is exactly what we were after.”
We were very pleased with the friendly, professional, honesty and cost effective services and will certainly engage SW Environmental for future services.
