MidCoast Council Bridge Replacements

GOALS

WolfPeak carried out flora and fauna surveys and prepared ecological impact assessments which included recommendations to minimise impacts on flora and fauna.

Timber bridges can often provide roosting habitat for threatened microbat species. Part of our study involved inspecting the underside of the bridges with a torch to determine if any microbats were present. We found that the bridges did contain some potential roost sites but no bats were found. We also surveyed aquatic habitat around the bridges and assessed the suitability for the Purple-spotted Gudgeon which is a threatened fish species.
