Vegetation Clearance in SEA (Significant Ecological Area)
Vegetation clearance within a Significant Ecological Area necessitates a careful, ecologically sensitive approach. This is because it can have significant impacts on rare and sensitive species and their habitats. Prioritising environmental assessments and mitigation measures is essential to ensure such clearances are carried out with minimal harm to these areas.
How we can help:
- Propose to build or extend in an SEA overlay
- Assess the quality of the vegetation to be removed
- Work with you to select the most suitable area for your dwelling with the least impacts on the SEA
- Work within the latest National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity
- Recommend site specific mitigation measures such as enhanced planting, weed and pest control, and protecting the remainder of the area.
