Environmental Rehabilitation is becoming more important with Society’s rising consciousness and value of environmental issues. This demonstrated by environmental legislation such as various State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs), Native Vegetation Act & Threatened Species Act and requirements for compensatory rehabilitation, but also economic mechanisms of Biodiversity Banking and carbon/greenhouse emissions trading.

The Practice has gained extensive understanding and experience of environmental issues from Rupert's background, hands-on rehabilitation of his own riparian creek margins, the Practice’s design and documentation of various restoration and rehabilitation plans, through to his involvement on the Catchment Management Committee, Yarrahapinni Wetlands Trust and Landcare. This breadth of environmental experience makes environmental restoration a field of special expertise and interest to the Practice.
