Biological Surveys

The Pilbara landscape contains a range of distinct flora and vegetation. We can catalogue the natural biodiversity features in the bush, and we have a solid understanding of the significance of the local flora and vegetation. At Pilbara Ecological, we are based locally and we specialise in the native species of the Pilbara region.
Detailed flora and vegetation surveys

We understand the logistics of operating in the Pilbara, and we have extensive experience operating in remote areas and in challenging conditions. Being local, we can mobilise to site quickly and cost-efficiently. With development across the Pilbara forecast to continue, our team can assist our clients to meet their approvals requirements while ensuring significant ecological values are protected.

Targeted surveys for significant flora

Pilbara Ecological can conduct targeted surveys for significant flora to support approvals processes and Environmental Impact Assessments. Our in-house GIS team can generate accurate maps to support our detailed reports based on our clients’ needs. We also have experience in the survey, characterisation and mapping of significant ecological communities.

Pilbara Ecological conducts revegetation monitoring to assess and measure the progress of revegetation against completion criteria.

This ensures any issues are identified early and allows for an adaptive management approach. Early identification of risks means future costly remediation measures are avoided.

Pilbara Ecological can design a revegetation monitoring program in line with the objectives of the project and relevant legislative or regulatory requirements.

We develop revegetation monitoring plans which are consistent with the SMART principles: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Our staff have previously conducted revegetation monitoring works within the non-profit, government and mining sectors.

Mine site vegetation management

Our team has experience managing and implementing long term spraying programs on mine site, rail and port infrastructure across the Pilbara. Being a local business, we can also mobilise at low cost for small jobs where required.

We use a range of weed control techniques to best manage weeds and vegetation around mine site infrastructure, focusing on maintaining operational areas and minimising fire risks. Our staff are experienced in managing the unique hazards present in mining environments.

Weed mapping and weed management plans

Pilbara Ecological can prepare detailed reporting and site-specific weed management plans.

Clear and reliable data adds value to our client’s weed control works. It is also necessary to demonstrate progress against compliance metrics and adhere to funding obligations.

Pilbara Ecological can design and implement monitoring programs to suit our client’s needs. We can provide weed mapping surveys and accurate maps showing the distribution and location of weed species. Data can be provided in a range of formats adhering to our clients’ data standards.
