Ecology
An understanding of aquatic and terrestrial ecology and the delivery of assessments across Australia.
From field investigations and ecological surveys to environmental offset planning, our ecology team is experienced across a diverse range of aquatic and terrestrial environments.
We routinely undertake fauna surveys, habitat assessments, vegetation community surveys, mapping, botanical surveys and targeted surveys for threatened species.
We have expertise in the identification of potential constraints to development and biodiversity conservation opportunities.
Our ecologists have extensive experience developing impact assessments, threatened species management plans and vegetation management plans that provide meaningful and practical outcomes for a range of industries.
We regularly develop and implement environmental offset strategies and management plans.
Our ecology team has a comprehensive understanding of environmental legislation at all levels of government and extensive experience in negotiating with regulators to navigate approval pathways for development projects.
