Richmond projects we support

Richmond sits on the Flinders Highway in the middle of the Mitchell grass downs, close to vanadium projects, the CopperString 2032 corridor and a growing number of energy developments. We supply Fauna Spotter Catchers for clearing, easement, road and project works across the Richmond Shire, including searches for Julia Creek dunnart habitat where approvals require it.

Why Richmond project managers choose Fauna Spotters

Richmond is serviced from our Mount Isa depot, with transparent per-km travel shown on every quote. Quotes are generated online in under two minutes, and longer programs step down to cheaper duration tiers across labour and equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a depot in North West Queensland?

Yes. Fauna Spotters runs a Mount Isa depot, so crews for Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Dajarra, Camooweal, Julia Creek, Boulia and the surrounding mines and stations are usually sent from the region, with extra crew flown in where required. Mobilisation is waived for sites within 100 km of a depot, and longer programs attract duration discounts on labour and equipment.

How quickly can Fauna Spotters mobilise a crew to Richmond?

For Richmond we can typically mobilise a Fauna Spotter Catcher within 48 hours. Multi-week programs should be booked at least a week ahead so the correct roster and permits are in place.
