We conduct a number of Ecological research and monitoring with a Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) experimental design. Vegetation and habitat condition assessments and mapping, ecological spatial analysis and aerial imagery interpretation are used to demonstrate compliance to the regulators. Monitoring and research can be at a small local scale, through to a regional scale and the objectives of the programs can include:

  • Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) monitoring

  • Land Management Plan (LMP) monitoring

  • Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) monitoring

  • Threatened species monitoring programs

  • Biodiversity Offset/Stewardship Site monitoring programs

  • Mine site compliance and rehabilitation monitoring.

  • Remote Sensing

  • eDNA sampling and assessment

  • Genetics studies
