FVC are specialists in flora and vegetation surveys and all related botanical studies
Our in-house team includes nine personnel with botanical expertise. We have decades of experience delivering projects with a focus on defining floristic values in given locations, whether for the purposes of vegetation clearing approvals, site selection/feasibility/risk assessments, natural resource management, or vegetation monitoring for compliance or other purposes.
Undertaking the appropriate level of survey for any environmental aspect requires consultants to properly understand the values of conservation significance or other sensitivities, in order to design a study that suitably defines these values, meets regulator and stakeholder expectations and does not burden clients with unnecessary fees or delays to project schedules. The FVC team has intimate familiarity with the things that matter when assisting clients with scoping flora and vegetation assessment work, including:
- Excellent familiarity with EPA guidance for flora and vegetation surveys
- Experience with and an understanding of regulator expectations and preferences for survey design, reporting content and areas to invest efforts
- An understanding of seasonal constraints of field survey work across the various bioregions
- Knowledge and track-record with other stages of projects which enables this context to optimise the survey approach, such as:
- An understanding of the approvals implications for flora and vegetation values of significance
- Knowledge of the environmental mitigation, management, offset and compliance opportunities and expectations related to flora and vegetation
- Experience in working on all phases of large development projects, as part of multi-disciplinary teams, with good context in areas such as site/route selection, engineering design, constructability, site environmental management, environmental monitoring and other compliance aspects such as environmental reporting during liability periods
