Armed with this
knowledge the potential
ecological impacts of a
development project can
be readily determined
and, where necessary,
appropriate mitigation
measures can be
incorporated into the
plan of development to
prevent unnecessary and
unsustainable ecological
damage from eventuating.
NCES staff have
previously conducted
hundreds of
ecological related
assessments within
SEQ for both the
private and public
development sectors.
Our extensive
assessment
experience and
detailed knowledge
of SEQ’s

advice related to

sustainable
