Rockhampton Development - Federal (EPBC Referral), State and Local Environmental Approvals

Project Location: Rockhampton, QLD

Project Description:  Green Tape Solutions undertakes flora surveys across the site to identify suitable offset areas in order to compensate the loss of vegetation. Field surveys are done to identify Bio-Condition benchmarks and provide Ecological Equivalence Assessments. Our team of experts compared the potential offset site's ecological values with the ecological benchmark and a vegetation condition score is calculated to determine if the property contains suitable offset for the threatened species. During the field assessments, weed species surveys and type A plants species are also recorded.

Fauna surveys are conducted primarily to target for EVNT listed wildlife using a combination of harp traps, pitfalls, Elliot traps, fixed night cameras, Anabat/songmeter recordings, netting guidance fences and active searches. Additional searches for mobile species such as birds and macropods are also conducted on an opportunistic basis or in accordance with relevant Commonwealth or State guidelines.
