Permanent damage/clearing of marine plants requires detailed assessment of the communities, and will often require vegetation or financial offsets to mitigate against the damage.

Most vegetation clearing activities are likely to impact on animal breeding places, therefore it is the responsibility of companies undertaking clearing to ensure they have the correct authority.

Apart from having detrimental economic impacts to the agricultural and industry sectors, the control of declared weeds is legislated under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 and some local government pest management plans. This legislation imposes a legal responsibility for control of declared weeds by all landholders on all land under their management, including in some cases the development and implementation of weed/pest management plans. Declared pest plants are targeted for control as they can have serious economic, environmental and social impacts in Queensland. Some Council plans relate to environmental weeds (not declared) which are considered a priority for management within their area.

Well done to our Rockhampton staff and family who collected over 3 ute-loads of rubbish from along 10 km of Farnborough beach between Sandy Point and Bangalee.

If you believe that the mapping is incorrect on your property, Ecosure can prepare a Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV) application for submission to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines to change the area incorrectly mapped as remnant vegetation to Category X area/white areas on the map.

Ecosure is seeking expressions of interest for Fauna Spotter Catchers or Ecologists with pre-clearance experience. We are looking for highly ethical and skilled professionals who are able to travel away for work. The ideal candidate will have previous experience on large projects and a demonstrated history of delivering exceptional results whilst meeting safety and quality requirements.
