Services
Flora & Fauna Assessments
Our comprehensive flora and fauna assessments identify biodiversity values through vegetation mapping, threatened species detection, and habitat analysis. We employ targeted survey techniques including nocturnal species monitoring and systematic searches to meet legislative requirements. Reports are tailored to specific development projects and determining authorities.
Biodiversity Assessments
Using the NSW Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM), we evaluate development impacts on native vegetation and biodiversity values. Our accredited assessors prepare documentation for compliance with the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, including offset scheme requirements and stewardship agreements with conservation authorities.
Vegetation Management Plans
We develop site-specific vegetation management plans to protect ecological values during development. These plans include restoration strategies, disturbance mitigation measures, and compliance frameworks for riparian corridors and high-conservation-value sites, prepared by experienced bushland regenerators.
Wildlife Management Strategies
Our wildlife management strategies protect fauna during development through nest box programs, habitat monitoring, and safe relocation procedures. We implement measures like hollow-bearing tree preservation and dewatering protocols to minimize ecological disturbance during construction activities.
Tree Clearance Supervision
We provide pre-clearance surveys and on-site supervision to ensure compliance with vegetation removal permits. Our ecologists identify fauna habitats, supervise clearance operations, and implement injury care protocols while maintaining safety standards for construction environments.
