KHOLO BRIDGE RIVER BANK RESTORATION PROJECT: ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT and Ecological Approvals

Terrestria conducted a review of ecological approvals required to allow Seqwater to undertake remedial works to stabilise areas within the old quarry area immediately downstream of the Kholo Bridge. On-ground ecological assessments were carried out to map the distribution of ecological values and all management plans and ecological approvals to undertake works were completed and submitted to the relevant government bodies.

Ecological Impact Assessment of the COFFS HARBOUR REGIONAL AIRPORT OBSTACLE LIMITATION SURFACES

Terrestria were commissioned by Epic Environmental to update all relevant ecological and cultural heritage information on lands managed for Object Limitation Surfaces purposes. The objectives of the flora and fauna investigations were to:

  • Update existing baseline environmental information for the State-owned land and specifically the status and condition of the site’s flora, fauna;

  • Undertake a review of published documentation and a desktop study of flora and fauna relevant to the biodiversity study area, identifying species and communities that may be present;

  • Conduct a field survey (flora survey and fauna habitat assessment) of the study area, with particular attention to species, populations and ecological communities listed under the EPBC Act, Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act) and Fisheries Management Act 1994 (FM Act);

  • Identify the national, state and regional significance of these biodiversity values in the broader environmental context of the area surrounding the site;

  • Identify measures for managing threatened biota at the site; and

  • Make recommendations for possible future site survey program(s) for vegetation communities, flora and fauna.

REVIEW OF FAUNA CROSSING RECOMMENDATIONS for Wyaralong Dam 

Terrestria were commissioned by Seqwater to undertake an expert review of the effectiveness of these road-side exclusion fencing installed both to discourage fauna from attempting to cross Boonah - Beaudesert Road and to direct their movements toward constructed under-road crossing. This work included making recommendations for extension of existing fences and the location of new fences in order to facilitate wildlife movement.
