Assessing flora and fauna to make a mining site landholder-ready.
We helped our stakeholders with information about the fauna and flora on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).
The Ecological assessment for Minjerribah, funded by Sibelco Australia, is dedicated to flora and fauna data gathering on their mining site which is in the process of being rehabilitated land.
Our work helped assess their compliance against relevant conditions for the rehabilitated land to transition to the incoming landholder.
The project focuses on:
This project involved:
As a result, this project delivered flora and fauna data to demonstrate the nature and extent of compliance with the required conditions for Sibelco to make sure that the Yellow Purple site is land-ready to transition to the incoming landholder.
Sibelco Australia was in the process of rehabilitating land disturbed by its mining activities on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island). Where the rehabilitation is complete, Sibelco is required to assess its compliance with relevant rehabilitation conditions specified in the applicable Environmental Authority (EA). A compliance assessment is required to submit a successful application to surrender part of the relevant EA and for the rehabilitated land to transition to the incoming landholder. |
