About us
Good Bush is an Illawarra-based bush regeneration and consulting company specializing in natural area restoration and vegetation management. We collaborate with a diverse range of clients, including government agencies, local councils, mining companies, community groups, and private landowners.
Our mission is to provide best-practice bush regeneration and expert consultancy, leveraging our in-depth knowledge of native flora and local vegetation types to manage, restore, and rehabilitate natural areas effectively.
The Story
The foundations of Good Bush were established through the efforts of the Upper Brooks Creek Bushcare group, which began removing weeds and revegetating a two-hectare section of Brooks Creek in 1999. This site, located between Emerson Road and Lakelands Drive in Dapto, has benefited from countless hours of dedicated volunteer work. To this day, the active Bushcare group continues to meet on the first Saturday of each month at 9 am.
Building on this strong community initiative, Marcus Burgess, the coordinator of the Bushcare group, founded Good Bush in 2006 to expand practical bush regeneration and environmental work. Under his leadership, Good Bush manages high-quality natural area restoration projects throughout the Illawarra region. Their clients include councils, government organizations, mining companies, private landowners, and others who are committed to preserving and enhancing our natural bushland.
