Environmental Consulting FAQs

Have questions about environmental assessments or our services? We’ve answered some of the most common queries from our clients to help you understand the process, requirements, and how Coast Ecology can support your project from start to finish.

A biodiversity assessment report, often referred to as a BDAR (Biodiversity Development Assessment Report) in New South Wales, Australia, is a comprehensive document that assesses the potential impact of a proposed development on biodiversity. It identifies how the development will avoid, minimize, and offset impacts on native vegetation and threatened species. The report is crucial for informing development decisions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, particularly the Biodiversity Conservation Act.

The length of a flora and fauna survey depends on factors such as property size, habitat diversity, target species, and seasonal conditions. Some surveys can be completed in a single day, while others require multiple visits across different seasons to capture accurate data. We’ll provide a clear timeframe once we’ve reviewed your project details.
