ReVert assesses degraded landscapes and supports rehabilitation by addressing the full system - landform, soil, water and vegetation - to deliver long-term stability, verified outcomes and reduced risk.
A Bayesian decision model built on ecological engineering principles and an 8-year ACARP research program, ReVert integrates soil science, hydrology and vegetation systems to move beyond surface-level rehabilitation and create landscapes that function physically, chemically and biologically over the long term.
From mine closure and degraded landscapes through to gully and streambank repair, ReVert delivers rehabilitation outcomes that are scientifically defensible and economically sustainable.
Landscape Rehabilitation That Performs: From Mine Closure to Catchment Repair
One Approach, Two Solutions
NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Stabilise degraded landscapes.
Restore function.
Improve productivity, soil, and water quality.
MINE REHABILITATION
Reduce closure risk.
Improve rehabilitation certainty.
Delivery regulator-ready outcomes.
Integrated Mine Rehabilitation & Closure Support
ReVert is Verterra’s integrated rehabilitation solution for mining operations, designed to assess risk and aid restoration of disturbed landforms, soils and ecosystems.
Rather than focusing only on vegetation establishment, ReVert addresses the full system required for long-term stability. It aligns landform design, soil function and ecosystem performance with closure objectives to reduce risk of rehabilitation failure.
ReVert delivers:
Integrated landform design aligned with closure objectives and post-mining land use
Fit-for-purpose soil and growth media systems to support vegetation establishment
Revegetation strategies matched to land capability and site conditions
Performance-based rehabilitation pathways that reduce rework, cost and long-term risk
ReVert Assessment and Scenario Modelling Tool
ReVert is underpinned by a proprietary assessment and scenario modelling tool developed by Verterra in partnership with the University of Southern Queensland through an 8-year ACARP research program.
The tool applies mechanistic modelling to:
Diagnose constraints to rehabilitation success
Test rehabilitation scenarios before implementation
Optimise landform, soil and vegetation design
Improve confidence in achieving closure criteria
Available to Australian coal operations via ACARP, and accessible to other operators through Verterra, the tool provides a science-backed pathway to more predictable rehabilitation outcomes.
Landscape Rehabilitation for Catchments and Agriculture
Across catchments and agricultural landscapes soil degradation manifests as expanding gullies, unstable streambanks, declining soil structure and increasing sediment loads that impact productivity and downstream water quality.
ReVert applies ecological engineering principles to diagnose why degradation is occurring before designing how to repair it, ensuring interventions address root causes — not just symptoms.
ReVert delivers:
Gully repair and stabilisation
Streambank rehabilitation and riparian restoration
Soil amelioration to restore structure and function
Grazing land rehabilitation and pasture recovery
Catchment-scale erosion reduction strategies
ReVert integrates soil, water and vegetation systems into a single rehabilitation approach that delivers long-term stability, improved productivity and measurable environmental outcomes.
Led by nationally accredited expertise, including one of only four Registered Soil Practitioners in Australia certified in Gully Repair, ReVert combines advanced science with practical on-ground delivery to achieve durable results.
Why ReVert?
Rehabilitation often fails when it focuses on surface outcomes rather than underlying system constraints.
ReVert is different:
Ecological Engineering Principles
Integrating landform, soil, water and vegetation systems.
Proprietary Modelling Tools
Developed through long-term research and applied in real-world conditions.
End-to-End Capability
From assessment through to on-ground implementation.
Performance-Based Delivery
Focused on measurable, verifiable outcomes.
How ReVert Works
ReVert is delivered through Verterra’s Performance Ecosystem — integrating measurement, design and delivery into a single system.
-
We establish a deep understanding of the physical, checmical and biological make-up of the landscape to ensure rehabilitation is designed based on evidence - not assumptions.
This includes:
Characterising landforms, soils, hydrology, vegetation and sediment dynamics
Identifying constraints to soils, landform stability and rehabilitation success
Quantifying erosion and identifying high-risk areas
Baseline assessment and performance monitoring via VerterraPROVE (mining) or DROVER Monitor (agriculture) for compliance and reporting
-
We apply the ReVert Assessment and Scenario Modelling Tool to test, optimise and validate rehabilitation designs before implementation.
This includes:
Integrated landform design aligned with land-use objectives
Fit-for-purpose soil amelioration prescriptions and growth media design to support vegetation establishment (delivered through ReVive Soil Solutions)
Integrate water, soil and vegetation interventions to minimise risk of landform failure
Revegetation and ecosystem establishment matched to land capability by incluing seed and plant selection and sourcing
ISO accredited on-ground delivery ensures quality, safety and ecological oversight
-
We track and verify landscape recovery to demonstrate environmental performance and generate long-term value.
Outcomes may include:
Improved soil fertility, structure, and water-holding capacity
Increased productivity, or achievement of rehabilitation completion criteria
Access to ecosystem markets (carbon, water quality or biodiversity) via ReValue Ecosystems or DROVER Credit
