Vegetation Surveys
Our reports identify vegetation which is a potential constraint to development and provide solutions which both facilitate the proposal and minimise biodiversity losses.
Reports include:
-
Database searches and literature review to determine if threatened flora does or could potentially occur on the site.
-
A survey which identifies vascular plants (ferns, conifers, flowering plants) present on the site.
-
Identification of vegetation on the site which is listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, State Government legislation and Council policies.
-
Maps showing the locations of listed species and vegetation which has a high biodiversity value, such as remnant and hollow bearing trees.
-
Recommendations for protection of listed species and high biodiversity value vegetation.
-
Tree protection planning recommendations in accordance with AS 4970-2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
-
Off-setting and restoration recommendations.
