We serve road, power, water, and pipeline proponents across Western Australia. Our team understands the approvals, survey windows, and construction realities that linear projects face from route selection to commissioning.
We serve road, power, water, and pipeline proponents across Western Australia. Our team understands the approvals, survey windows, and construction realities that linear projects face from route selection to commissioning.
Linear programs often trigger native vegetation clearing, threatened species controls, heritage interfaces, and complex regulator negotiations. Budgets and timelines are tight and works are staged across long distances. We plan the approval pathway, identify constraints early, and prepare regulator ready submissions that keep procurement and construction moving. Your team gets clear directions, fewer surprises, and faster decisions.
We deliver due diligence and constraints mapping, flora and fauna surveys, and targeted habitat assessments for corridors and easements. Our team manages clearing permits, EPBC referrals, and agency liaison, then provides fauna pre clearance, trench monitoring, and daily compliance records during works. We prepare environmental management plans, revegetation plans, offsets, and GIS mapping so your documents align with construction methods and audit needs.
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.

Call us for free preliminary advice on your likely approval pathways, timelines and costs.
Start with a short call or send your route map and scope. You will receive a prompt assessment of risks, a recommended pathway, and a detailed quote with inclusions and timeframes. We then schedule surveys or submissions and keep you informed until approvals and pre clearance are complete.
Allow two to eight weeks for typical clearing permits and referrals once inputs are ready. Complex or multi agency submissions can take longer. We sequence surveys and drafting so approvals land before procurement and early works.
Spring is the preferred window for many flora surveys in the South West, while fauna work can occur year round with method adjustments. We lock in survey timing early so your fauna survey South West WA delivers defensible results.
A clear route alignment, activity description, access plans, and any prior studies are ideal. We can fill data gaps with targeted fieldwork and GIS analysis, then progress drafting in parallel to save time.
We manage scoping calls, track actions, and present concise evidence that answers likely questions. As your infrastructure EIA consultant we aim for fewer iterations and faster agreement on conditions.
We brief crews, deliver fauna pre clearance and trench monitoring, and keep daily records with photos and GPS points. This construction environmental support WA meets audit needs and helps supervisors make safe, compliant decisions.
We assess the change, advise if a modification is required, and update reports or permits quickly. Our goal is to keep works moving while maintaining a clean compliance record.

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.
