Cumberland Ecology

Cumberland Ecology’s services include desktop and field based assessments and surveys. We undertake pre-clearance surveys and clearance supervision; ecological constraints identification and mapping; site and route selection reporting; ecological risk identification and risk management strategies; environmental approvals; impact assessments; biodiversity offsetting and associated reports and GIS mapping. We also have a team of staff in NSW accredited to undertake biodiversity assessments utilising the Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM). Cumberland Ecology also has experience with the Queensland Environmental Offsets Framework and the required assessments for Regulated Vegetation and Protected Wildlife Habitat. We have a detailed understanding on how to apply and undertake the two forms of Habitat Quality Assessment (Rapid Assessment or Standard Assessment), undertake Site Condition Assessments and Site Context Assessments, all of which are required to formulate an appropriate offset. Our specialist team of ecologists and environmental scientists have comprehensive ecological experience gained from some of Australia’s most significant infrastructure, resource and energy projects. Our team is one of NSW and Queensland's largest and most experienced ecological consultancy teams with strong and recent experience in the mining and linear infrastructure sectors. We are approachable and responsive to changing project requirements and have the personnel that will manage the whole ecology process smoothly and pragmatically resolving all of your ecological needs.
