Fauna spotter catcher and ecology projects delivered by Fauna Spotters.

Fauna Spotters has delivered Fauna Spotter Catcher (FSC), Koala Spotter, thermal drone survey and pre-clearance ecology engagements across civil, mining, renewables, road, rail and residential programs Australia-wide. Below is a snapshot of the project types we take on — detailed case studies and references are available on request.

Project types we deliver

Every engagement is scoped from the clearing envelope, program window and roster. That's why the online quote asks for those details up front — the number you see is the number that gets billed.

  • Civil construction — road duplications, motorway upgrades, rail corridors, light rail, bridge works and drainage programs
  • Renewables — wind farm access tracks, solar farm clearing envelopes, transmission line easements and battery-storage compounds
  • Mining and resources — open-cut pit expansions, haul road corridors, TSF construction, exploration access, LNG plant works
  • Residential and industrial land development — subdivision clearing, koala-habitat lot works, and estate infrastructure
  • Public infrastructure — defence base upgrades, port and airport works, water and sewer trunk mains, telecommunications
  • Emergency and rapid-response — 24/7 snake capture on active sites, post-fire and post-flood fauna welfare checks

Sector experience

Our crews have worked in Bowen Basin coal expansions, Central Queensland gas fields, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast koala-habitat subdivisions, Darling Downs renewables corridors, Hunter Valley coal and wind, Sydney rail and motorway upgrades, and Northern Territory defence and LNG programs. Every engagement is delivered under the relevant state wildlife authority with full compliance documentation.

How we scope a project

Send us the clearing envelope (KML, shapefile or annotated map), your Environmental Authority or Development Approval conditions, the site induction pack and the program dates. We turn that around into an itemised, GST-inclusive quote — and, if the scope needs one, a draft Fauna Management Plan — within a couple of business days. Larger and multi-crew mobilisations are broken down into phased line items so you can budget cleanly across the program.

Confidentiality and references

Most of our work is delivered under head-contractor NDAs, so we don't publish project names online. Client references, sanitised case studies and previous scope-of-work extracts are available under a signed NDA — request via the quote form or by calling 1800 4 FAUNA.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply project references before we award?

Yes. Named client references from comparable civil, renewables or mining programs are supplied on request during quote evaluation. Most references sit behind NDA so we co-ordinate the introduction ourselves.

What's the largest program you've delivered?

We've delivered multi-crew, multi-week clearing programs in the Bowen Basin, on Central Queensland renewables corridors, and on Greater Sydney rail and motorway upgrades. Program sizing is bounded only by lead time — give us a week's notice and we can mobilise multiple crews.

Do you take on single-day callouts?

Yes. Single-day FSC callouts and 24/7 snake catcher dispatches are treated the same as multi-week programs — same licensed handlers, same insurance, same reporting.
