Navigating Environmental Mapping for Australian Housing Developments
Environmental mapping is a critical requirement, especially for housing developments in Australia. While specific requirements vary by state and territory, our ecology experts guide you through the process, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation.
We help you navigate requirements under acts like the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) at the national level, which protects matters of national environmental significance, such as endangered species or protected wetlands.
State and Territory level requirements include:
- Flora and Fauna Surveys: These surveys identify existing plant and animal species on the development site, including any threatened or endangered species. They may involve mapping the distribution of these species.
- Vegetation Mapping: Detailed maps of the existing vegetation communities on the site are often required. This helps assess the potential impact of the development on native vegetation and identify areas for conservation.
- Acid Sulfate Soil Mapping: In some areas, there is a risk of disturbing acid sulfate soils during construction. Mapping these areas is crucial to develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Bushfire Prone Land Mapping: Many parts of Australia are bushfire prone. Mapping bushfire risk zones is essential for designing fire-safe developments. These are also known as APZ’s.
Local Government Requirements:
In some cases, local governments may have additional environmental mapping requirements for development applications. It’s important to check with the relevant local council for specific requirements.
