Shane Drew

Having lived the majority of his life in Queensland, Shane comes to SBR with a wealth of experience and knowledge. He completed Cert III Landscape Construction in early 1980 and Cert IV Conservation and Land Management some years later in the Brisbane area. With over 40 years industry experience, Shane’s work has provided a blueprint for Mining Companies in revegetation of abandoned mines, and he was instrumentally involved in the installation and maintenance of bio-retention ponds for filtering heavy metals, waste, weeds and rubbish from storm water systems in the Brisbane area- a concept that is now used by Councils and Land developers Australia wide.

Shane left Brisbane on a working holiday 3 years ago and made it as far as Kiama before falling in love with the area and choosing to settle in the Illawarra region, where he has met his partner and is now happy to call home.
