Offset Revegetation Brisbane

We provide offset revegetation services in Brisbane, and wider areas of Queensland, for commercial projects, local councils, and large-scale developments. Offset revegetation is when trees are planted to offset carbon produced during the construction process, to restore a previous ecosystem or for a new purpose.

Revegetation allows land to be restored to its pre-construction state, providing the following benefits:

Stabilising or preventing erosion
Recreating a habitat for native animals
Improving air and water quality
Rehabilitating a site more quickly than would occur naturally

YEARS EXPERIENCE

Trees are planted in areas previously used for mining, farming or construction – or to extend an existing nature conservation area.

This can also include propagating, translocating, and planting rare and threatened species.

How are sites revitalised using offset revegetation?

We have specialised machinery to undertake all offset revegetation projects, while adhering to WHS standards and without risk to the public. We also use a variety of plants, as per project needs, while adhering to efficient field practices. As part of our process, we bring in ecologists to provide specialised reports for effective revegetation.

We can identify and negotiate suitable offset sites on behalf of councils or clients and liaise with Project Managers or developers from planning until job completion.

This involves:

Sourcing
Planning
Ongoing management of stakeholders and the site
On the ground revegetation work
Site monitoring
Compliance reporting

What happens after the offset revegetation process?

After planting, we maintain your site, by watering, weed control, slashing, and attending to plant health, until it is ready to hand back over. This can include firebreak installation.

What do you need to do before planning your offset program of work?

A planning permit is required by most local councils to remove, destroy, or lop native vegetation and subsequently a native vegetation offset is generally required as a condition of these permits.

The process generally involves the following steps:

Your project requires removal of native vegetation
You will need to establish the cost of the native vegetation you are proposing to remove.
We help you to find a new site to offset that cost
You apply for a project permit, which includes the offset information
Your permit is approved, and the offset obligation becomes a condition of the permit
We negotiate a price with an offset landowner with a matching site on your behalf
Sign contracts with the landowner
Document the transaction on the register
Begin removal of native revegetation
Revegetation begins at the offset site
