WHY THIS SERVICE?

Western Australia has more than half of Australia’s nationally recognised biodiversity hotspots. Many of our projects are located in remote, sensitive and largely undisturbed environments.

Mining and other developments require careful planning and management to ensure they are sustainably implemented.  Proponents of these projects must navigate a formal environmental impact assessment process to gain regulatory approvals.

Well-considered environmental management is a key aspect of implementing mining and other projects.

Our Experience

Rockwater has a diverse environmental capability that complements its groundwater services. Our team of experienced environmental scientists practice in the areas of environmental management, hydrology, groundwater ecology, contaminated sites, and botany.

We routinely operate in areas where groundwater-dependent ecosystems or other sensitive environmental features, such as Declared Rare Flora, are present.  Rockwater’s environmental scientists, hydrologists and hydrogeologists undertake environmental sampling to characterise the natural environment in order to facilitate project approvals, and to comply with licences, permits or other statutory requirements.
