Ecological assessment reports for airports

Ecosure's ecological assessment reports for airports capture data and recommendations on the flora and fauna species and vegetation communities which occur or are likely to occur within an airport project area. Ecosure staff review relevant literature and databases and conduct field surveys to form an ecological assessment report that aligns to local councils' specifications where relevant.

Environmental impact assessments for airports

Ecosure develops and implements environmental impact assessments for airports that capture quality survey data (including all flora and fauna), review relevant literature and data, review environmental legislation relevant to the airport site, and develop a comprehensive report that consolidates all facets of the assessment process with guidelines and recommendations designed to be as realistic and practical as possible.

Legislation compliance assessments for airports

Legislative compliance assessments for airports are land-use assessments based on requirements and conditions set out in relevant state and/or federal legislation. Ecosure's compliance assessments are important for developers or land owners whose operations and activities may contravene legislation.

Flora and fauna assessments for airports

Ecosure has undertaken a flora and fauna assessment of Gold Coast Airport-managed lands. A detailed ecological survey was required which included targeted surveys for legislatively significant species within state and federal legislative frameworks.

Fauna surveys for airports

Townsville Airport required a comprehensive assessment of fauna immediately adjacent airside areas. The information derived from these fauna surveys contributed to the most appropriate development and management of these lands.

Wildlife monitoring programmes for airports

Ecosure provides wildlife monitoring programme for airports, and was therefore contracted for Cairns Airport to monitor the flight patterns of flying-foxes over the site, monitor camp size and structure, and apply an in-depth risk assessment regarding aircraft safety.

Water-quality monitoring programmes for airports

The Gold Coast Airport lies on leased Commonwealth land and has two major waterways flowing through and adjacent to the airport. As part of the legislative requirements associated with environmental management at Gold Coast Airport, a water-quality monitoring programme began in 1996.

Environmental management plans for airports

Ecosure carries out environmental management plans for airports. For Gold Coast Airport, we provided a project with three main objectives:

• Evaluate the site via surveys and literature reviews to identify areas that require conservation and/or regeneration
• Create a site-specific management plan that provides the framework for a long-term strategy to protect and/or enhance biodiversity and the cultural heritage sites within the Cobaki Environment Precinct
• Design a pathway network to allow access to the site in a sustainable manner, maximising recreational enjoyment while protecting the surrounding environment

Environmental legislation monitoring for airports

Gold Coast Airport identified the need to closely monitor changes in state and federal environmental legislation that may impact on their current and future operations. Ecosure monitored all changes to environmental legislation and provided regular reports to the airport identifying relevant and applicable legislative changes, with a particular emphasis on flora, fauna and significant ecological communities.
