Flora and vegetation

JBS&G has extensive approvals experience and assists clients to obtain necessary approvals to clear or remove native vegetation. This vegetation can also provide habitat for fauna and an understanding of the species present is generally required to inform impact assessments and facilitate approvals to develop or clear land.

Providing project management and strategic advice, our team works closely with clients to obtain timely environmental approvals. Our skills include:

• desktop, reconnaissance and detailed flora and vegetation surveys
• targeted threatened (rare), priority flora and weed surveys
• baseline vegetation and multi-season/year revegetation monitoring
• opportunities and constraints assessments
• wetland reclassification surveys and approval
• weed surveys and management plans
• preparation of Native Vegetation Clearing Permit applications.
