Mine Rehabilitation Contractors for the Hunter Valley
Seed, planting, weed control and maintenance for rehabilitated mine land.
The ecological side of mine rehabilitation
As mine rehabilitation contractors, Hunter Bush Regeneration delivers the ecological work that follows final landform. We collect seed, grow plants, revegetate, control weeds and maintain rehabilitated land across Hunter Valley mines and quarries.
We don't do bulk earthworks or shaping. We work alongside your earthworks contractor and environmental consultant, picking up the scope once the landform and topsoil are in place.
We have worked with BHP, listed among our clients in the Mining & Rehabilitation sector.

Mine rehabilitation in NSW: working to your RMP
Mining leases in NSW carry rehabilitation obligations regulated by the NSW Resources Regulator. Each site's Rehabilitation Management Plan sets out rehabilitation objectives and completion criteria.
We plan our works around those documents. Species lists, planting methods and maintenance visits are set to suit your final land use and the criteria you need to meet.
Where reporting is required, we keep records of what was done, where and when, so your environmental team can use them in monitoring and annual reporting.

Tell us where the site is and what you need to achieve, and we'll arrange a site visit and quote.
From seed to established vegetation
Local provenance seed
Seed is collected from the site or nearby remnant vegetation, so plants suit local soils and climate.
Tube stock and planting
Seed is grown on into tube stock, then planted out by our crews or sown directly onto the landform.
Weed control and maintenance
Follow-up weed control and maintenance visits protect establishing vegetation until it can hold its own.
Each stage is a service we run in-house: native seed collection, propagation, local provenance tube stock, planting and revegetation and weed control.
Around mine infrastructure, we also carry out APZ maintenance to manage fuel loads near buildings and access roads.
A mine rehabilitation contractor that fits your site systems
Our field staff hold White Card, First Aid and ChemCert AQF3 accreditation. Herbicide application is carried out by ChemCert AQF3 accredited staff.
We run our own equipment fleet. Site-specific inductions are tracked centrally, and we complete your site's induction requirements before work starts.
We can work directly for the mine or as a subcontractor to a principal contractor holding the wider rehabilitation package.
