Our Experience
Green Tape Solutions is based in Brisbane and works across Australia.
Our recent work included an initial pre-clearance inspection to locate and flag fauna habitat features along the coal seam gas pipeline project. Prior to the clearing activities, our fauna spotter identified ecological values for the site that would potentially support wildlife. In coordination with the client/field manager, our spotter developed strategies to safely remove the vegetation and supervised the clearing contractor to ensure appropriate measures were taken into consideration during clearing.
Our staff always work under Green Tape Solutions' Environmental, Health and Safety systems and procedures.
