Ecological Impact Assessments

Ecology Professionals in Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney & Western NSW

Our principal and senior ecologists are accredited assessors under the BAM system, which permits us to prepare assessments under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We have extensive experience preparing the full range of reports:

• Biodiversity Assessment Report (BAR) – Required where the project seeks to remove or modify native vegetation but does not trigger the need to offset this loss of habitat.
• Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) – Required where development triggers offsetting requirements.
• Biodiversity Certification Assessment Report (BCAR) – Detailed reports that assess the potential impacts of land use changes on biodiversity values, supporting the certification process to confirm that conservation measures meet regulatory standards and offset requirements.
• Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessment Reports (BSSARs) – Required where large areas of native forest are sought to be assessed in order to receive payments for the conservation of its ecological values.
