Flora & Fauna Surveys
Knowing what inhabits an area is key to informing how that land should be managed or developed.
By identifying the species and habitats present within the associated land we can provide information regarding ecological processes, values, constraints and risk and opportunities to consider when planning for future management or development.
Capabilities
- Desktop assessments of relevant state and federal databases to identify records or likely occurrence of threatened plants, animals, and communities including matters of national environmental significance (MNES).
- Review of projects against state and federal legislative requirements and local planning schemes to identify required approval pathways.
- Detailed environmental site assessments to identify values, risks, and opportunities for project environmental management.
- Quantification of impacts to native vegetation and significant impact assessments for MNES.
- Produce reports including recommendations for mitigating actions, further studies and project delivery that will ensure timely approval of projects resulting in minimal environmental harm.
- Coordinate other specialist consultants (cultural heritage advisors, arborists etc) input where required.
