Location:

Gold Coast, QLD

Overview:

Envite Environment has strong experience in revegetation works over the past 30yrs and recently our Nerang team have had the opportunity to carryout this service in the Tallebudgera Valley. The team successfully acquired approval to carryout revegetation services for the City of Gold Coast in 2025 as well as continuing natural area restoration.

 

With their first planting for City of Gold Coast, Envite staff have successfully installed over 300 native tree species at a reserve site. The reserve is primarily in a koala corridor and home to riparian species.  Mostly swamp with remnant She oak, Paperbark and Eucalyptus growing on the edge of a tidal creek system.

 

The dedicated bush regenerators have been working regularly to encourage native regeneration, removing known weed species, that outcompete native plants, and installing koala habitat and food tree species such as Eucalyptus tereticornis (Queensland red gum) and Eucalyptus robusta (Swamp mahogany).  These species have been planted in to further enhance biodiversity in the highly productive site already growing vigorously.  The additional trees will add value by providing habitat and food to the koala corridor in the local area.  The Envite team continues to maintain this site until June 2026.

Outcomes:

Installation of over 300 native koala food tree species and habitat trees. Increasing habitat values and biodiversity.

This project is funded by City of Gold Coast.
