Revegetation plans set out practical, evidence-based measures to restore native vegetation and meet approval conditions across Western Australia. They define species selection, establishment methods, timing, and monitoring criteria to support successful site rehabilitation.
SW Environmental prepares revegetation plans that are tailored to local soils, climate, and vegetation communities. Our plans are designed to be realistic to implement, aligned with approval conditions, and suited to on-ground delivery by contractors.
Our team includes experienced local botanists with detailed knowledge of South West flora, seed availability, and establishment constraints and a nationally recognised, award-winning revegetation specialist (Golden Gecko recipient for Environmental Excellence). This local expertise ensures revegetation strategies are appropriate for the region and achievable within project timelines.

Our rehabilitation and revegetation plans set out clear, site-specific measures to restore disturbed areas and meet approval and offset conditions in Western Australia. Plans typically define rehabilitation objectives, species selection, seed or tube stock specifications, soil preparation requirements, weed management, planting densities, and maintenance schedules.
We include monitoring methods, measurable success criteria, and contingency triggers to support compliance reporting and audit requirements. Deliverables commonly include GIS mapping, photo monitoring points, and practical field documentation suitable for on-ground implementation by contractors.
Supporting services such as flora baseline surveys, dieback and weed management planning, and regulator liaison can be provided where required.
This service is required for projects where environmental offsets, rehabilitation or planting are required as conditions of approval. It is suited to situations where clearing has occurred and a documented, implementable pathway is needed to meet approval conditions and demonstrate progress.
Smaller subdivisions and single-lot developments may also require planting, or rehabilitation plans where imposed by local government conditions, provided the scope is proportionate and achievable.
Customer service and quality assurance is underpinned by our ISO9001 compliant integrated management system.

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.
Delaying rehabilitation or offset planning increases the risk of missing planting windows and failing to meet approval performance criteria. Early planning allows appropriate species, seed provenance, nursery supply and contractor availability to be confirmed in advance, so works can be delivered at the correct time.
A clear plan reduces uncertainty during implementation, limits rework and supports consistent delivery in the field. Early action also provides regulators with confidence that rehabilitation or offset requirements can be met within agreed timeframes, protecting project budgets, approvals and reputation.
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 can’t match.
Locally recognised expertise with over 100 years of combined experience in the region and over 1000 projects delivered.
South West 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 South West 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.
Following your enquiry, we confirm approval conditions and site constraints, then prepare a draft plan outlining species mixes, planting methods and implementation requirements, roles and responsibilities and targets and monitoring requirements. Once approved, we finalise mapping, photo monitoring points and field and compliance documentation, as required.
Call us for free preliminary advice on your likely approval pathways, timelines and costs.
We start with a short discovery call, then issue a written proposal with scope, milestones, and inclusions. Fixed fee options are available for defined packages, with day rates for complex iterations or extended monitoring. You will always know what is included so there are no surprises.
Planting windows typically align with cooler months and reliable rainfall. Planning ahead secures stock and ensures your rehabilitation plan WA can be delivered when survival rates are highest.
Success criteria often include survival percentages, percent cover, species richness, and weed thresholds. We set measurable targets and monitoring methods so environmental offsets and planting outcomes can be verified.
Yes. We specify provenance zones and work with nurseries or seed suppliers to ensure genetic suitability. This supports habitat restoration WA goals and improves long term resilience.
Monitoring commonly runs for one to three years depending on conditions and approval requirements. Your plan will specify timing, methods, and photo point records so progress is easy to demonstrate.
We include staged weed control strategies before and after planting, with safe methods and timing. Clear controls reduce competition and increase the success of native vegetation restoration.
Yes. We develop an offset management plan that details calculations, actions, and reporting aligned with approval conditions. This ensures compliance and simplifies annual reporting.
We believe in a straightforward approach to every project, providing 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.
