Most of Dronehab’s work is on Bowen Basin mine sites — environmental offsets, rehabilitation areas, tailings and infrastructure corridors from Moranbah and Dysart down to Blackwater. Crews are mine-inducted, carry current SWMS and PRCP-aligned reporting, and Dronehab is an approved supplier to BHP and Stanmore Resources and prequalified through Avetta, Pegasus and ICN Gateway.
Built for coal-mine environmental programs
Weed control, rehab and survey delivered as one accountable package with the evidence your environmental team needs.
Closed-loop drone weed spraying: map wall-to-wall, treat with variable-rate Agras T100 application, verify, report. Harrisia cactus, parthenium, buffel, leucaena.
Aerial seeding and ameliorant spreading to your PRCP species schedule and kg/ha rates, with GPS coverage records per block.
RTK/PPK orthomosaics, DEMs, stockpile volumes and rehab landform change detection in your mine grid.
Thermal fauna detection for koalas and gliders ahead of clearing, plus LiDAR canopy structure for offset condition monitoring.
Bowen Basin sites we service
Moranbah, Dysart, Middlemount, Clermont, Nebo, Glenden, Coppabella, Tieri, Capella, Blackwater and Bluff — mine leases, rehabilitation areas and environmental offset properties across the northern and central Bowen Basin, including current programs at Isaac Plains and Poitrel. Crews stage from Mackay and can base in Moranbah or Emerald for multi-week campaigns.
Case study: Harrisia cactus control across a 560 ha environmental offset — four campaigns, 97.62% on-target application.
Common questions
Are your crews mine-inducted?
Yes. Crews hold current inductions for the major Bowen Basin operators and carry site-specific SWMS. Dronehab is an approved supplier to BHP and Stanmore and prequalified via Avetta, Pegasus and ICN.
Can you work to our PRCP or offset management plan?
Yes. Seeding rates, species mixes, weed targets and monitoring intervals are set from your PRCP, OAMP or rehab schedule, and reporting is formatted to match.
What records come back after a spraying job?
GPS spray records, product and rate data, treatment maps and a verification flight showing kill rate — the evidence pack your environmental team files.
How quickly can you mobilise to a Bowen Basin site?
Typically within a week of a signed quote, faster for existing clients. Multi-week campaigns are staged from Moranbah or Emerald.
