Flora & Fauna Assessment Report

A Flora and Fauna Report is a specialist ecological assessment required by councils for Development Applications (DA), essential for projects involving construction or tree removal. We assess your project's potential impact on threatened species as required by NSW legislation, including the "Five-Part Test of Significance." Our expert reports ensure your project meets all regulatory requirements, supporting a smooth approval process for your DA.

Review of Environmental Factors (REF)

We prepare comprehensive Review of Environmental Factors (REF) reports for authorities, as required under Part 5 of the EP&A Act. An REF is a critical environmental assessment for activities not requiring a DA. Our expert analysis ensures your project's environmental impacts are thoroughly assessed, documented, and compliant, facilitating a clear path to a responsible and considered outcome for your project.

Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR)

We provide expert guidance through the complexities of the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Our accredited assessors deliver high-quality Biodiversity Development Assessment Reports (BDAR) using the latest Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM). We focus on providing the technical accuracy and strategic insights required to navigate the scheme effectively, ensuring your project’s biodiversity impacts are assessed with professional rigour and regulatory compliance.

Ecological Constraints Assessment (ECA)

Our Ecological Constraints Assessments or Due Diligence Assessments provide early-stage strategic advice for proposed projects. We identify potential ecological issues and opportunities upfront, giving your project clarity and direction from the beginning. This proactive approach aims to de-risk your investment and streamline future approvals by mapping a clear path forward from the outset, reducing the chance for nasty surprises at a later date.

Targeted Threatened Species Surveys

When your project requires specific data on threatened species, our targeted survey service aims to provide clarity. Using proven and statutory methodologies, our specialists conduct focused flora and fauna surveys to confirm presence or likely absence. This provides the reliable data needed to inform your project and support regulatory assessments.

Plant Community Type (PCT) / Vegetation Mapping

Our detailed Vegetation (PCT) mapping provides foundational data for informed land management and development decisions. We translate complex botanical landscapes into clear, accurate maps and reports, creating a powerful tool for your strategic planning, impact assessment, and environmental objectives.

Dam Dewatering Supervision

Safely dewatering dams requires specialist ecological supervision. Our team manages the process, from pre-dewatering assessment to fauna salvage and relocation. Our approach is designed to help your project proceed responsibly and efficiently, managing ecological risk while working to meet regulatory obligations.

Nest Box Installation and Monitoring

Our nest box programs provide essential, temporary homes for displaced fauna following habitat removal. As a compensatory measure, they bridge the gap while long-term solutions like offset planting and habitat enhancement mature. We manage the installation, monitoring, and reporting to support your project's ecological commitments and demonstrate a holistic approach to biodiversity management.

Vegetation Management Plan (VMP)

A successful project needs a clear and practical Vegetation Management Plan (VMP). We develop actionable strategies for managing and protecting vegetation to meet your project's goals and approval conditions. Our plans are designed for real-world implementation, supporting compliance and sustainable outcomes on the ground.

Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP)

Our Biodiversity Management Plans (BMP) provide a holistic, integrated strategy for managing a site's ecological values. We create a comprehensive framework addressing relevant flora, fauna, and habitat features. This strategic approach supports cohesive management and regulatory compliance to help you achieve your sustainability goals.

Weed Management Plan (WMP)

Effective weed control requires a strategic approach. We develop targeted Weed Management Plans (WMP) that prioritize actions for maximum impact. Our plans provide clear, practical strategies for controlling weeds, helping you meet regulatory obligations and protect your site's long-term ecological health.

Koala Plan of Management (KPoM)

Protecting koalas requires specialist expertise. We develop comprehensive Koala Plans of Management (KPoM) that address the requirements for projects impacting koalas and their habitat. Our plans provide scientifically-backed strategies intended to guide your project toward a compliant and responsible outcome.

Project Ecologist Services

Embed an expert in your team with our Project Ecologist services. We provide dedicated, ongoing ecological support to help navigate environmental challenges proactively and efficiently. We act as your trusted partner, working with you to guide your project toward a successful and ecologically sound outcome.

GIS Mapping and Analysis

Our GIS Mapping and Analysis services transform complex ecological data into clear decision-making tools. We create high-quality maps and spatial analyses that help reveal patterns, constraints, and opportunities on your site. This allows you to better visualize your project's landscape and make strategically sound environmental decisions.

Secondment Services

Integrate our ecological expertise directly into your team. Our secondment services provide you with a dedicated environmental professional on-site to manage your project's day-to-day ecological challenges. This ensures seamless workflow, immediate access to expert advice, and consistent compliance, helping to keep your project on track and on budget.

Mine Rehabilitation Management Plans

We develop strategic Mine Rehabilitation Management Plans that are both compliant and practical. Our plans provide a clear, achievable pathway for progressive rehabilitation and final closure. By focusing on sustainable, long-term ecological outcomes, we help you meet your regulatory obligations and demonstrate your commitment to responsible land management.

Mine Rehabilitation Inspections and Monitoring

Our independent inspection and monitoring services provide the data you need to effectively track your mine's rehabilitation progress. We offer rigorous, data-driven assessments to measure performance against your completion criteria and regulatory requirements. This ensures accountability and provides the confidence that your rehabilitation goals are being met.

Biodiversity Offset Inspections and Monitoring

Verify the success of your mine's biodiversity offset strategy with our specialised inspection and monitoring services. We provide independent assessments to track the ecological gains of your offset sites and ensure compliance with your approval conditions. Our clear, defensible reporting provides the evidence needed to demonstrate your long-term commitment to biodiversity.

Drone Surveys: Wildlife & Landscape Mapping

Our advanced drone (UAV) survey services offer a new perspective on your project. We use high-resolution aerial imagery for precise landscape mapping and thermal technology for non-invasive wildlife detection. This approach allows us to gather comprehensive data efficiently and safely, supporting informed decisions for impact assessments, monitoring, and rehabilitation planning.
