What Open Ecology does for your team

• Site facts for any lot: area, tenure, council and coordinates.
• Every mapped constraint on the lot and within a buffer you choose, with source and date, and a desktop appendix ready to paste.
• Threatened species recorded near the site, with their status under State law and the EPBC Act.
• The Queensland vegetation, koala and protected plants provisions that apply to the lot, quoted from the version in force.
• Report figures, and field files for Avenza Maps, QGIS or a GPS, for Queensland lots.

• Dated aerial photographs of a Queensland lot back to 1994, beside the current imagery.
• The mapped constraints on and around a site for a construction environmental management plan, an erosion and sediment control plan or a rehabilitation plan.
• The lot and its constraints as field files for the site team.

• The council planning scheme in force, its amendments and any temporary local planning instruments, for Queensland councils.
• Council overlays measured on the lot, for the South East Queensland councils that license their data to Open Ecology.
• Development applications on and around a lot, where the council publishes them as open data.
• The State clearing exemptions and koala rules for the lot, quoted, with the lot's mapped facts beside each one.

• Development application screening against the site's mapped constraints and the planning scheme's codes.
• Checking an applicant's response to an information request, item by item, against what was asked.
• External review of an ecological report at a fixed price, with every finding tied to its source.
• Clearing checks against the State vegetation and protected plants laws.

Findings go to the assessing officer, and the decision stays with the officer. The home page has a worked example of a development application check.

Councils, State agencies and large firms: leave your details on the request form and we will call you to talk through a pilot and pricing.
