Project ecologists for approvals, surveys and compliance.
Fauna Spotters supplies qualified ecologists to civil, mining, renewables and infrastructure projects across Australia — for fauna assessments, targeted threatened-species surveys, breeding-place inspections and the management plans your approvals demand. Because our ecologists work alongside our own licensed Fauna Spotter Catcher crews, findings turn into field actions on the same mobilisation.
Ecology services
Our ecologists deliver the assessment and documentation layer that sits above day-to-day fauna spotting.
- Fauna assessments and habitat evaluations
- Targeted surveys for threatened, migratory and EVNT species
- Breeding-place inspections and pre-clearance surveys
- Fauna Management Plans and Species Management Programs
- Koala Management Plans and offset condition support
- Post-clearance and compliance reporting for regulators
Field-first, not desktop-only
Every ecologist we mobilise has real clearing-program experience on Tier 1 and Tier 2 sites. Plans are written by people who have stood next to the mulcher, so recommendations are practical, auditable and don't stall your program.
One contractor, whole scope
Combine ecologist-led surveys and plans with FSC crews, koala spotters, thermal drone detection and nest-box installation under one quote — instead of coordinating three consultancies.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an ecologist or a fauna spotter catcher?
An ecologist assesses habitat, runs surveys and writes the plans your approval requires; a Fauna Spotter Catcher does the day-to-day spotting and handling during works. Most clearing programs need both — and we quote them together.
Can your ecologists prepare a Fauna Management Plan for our approval?
Yes. Site-specific Fauna Management Plans, Species Management Programs and Koala Management Plans are prepared by qualified ecologists and formatted for submission to the relevant state authority.
Which regions do your ecologists cover?
All Australian states and territories. Queensland is home base, with DIDO/FIFO rosters for interstate and remote projects.
