What documentation can Ecosite Solutions prepare for development applications?

Updated

Ecosite Solutions can prepare the documentation needed to meet Local and State Government requirements for development applications. According to the company, this includes Statements of Environmental Effects, post-approval management plans, and coordination of vegetation surveys and Threatened Species assessments. This page is for anyone preparing a development application or consent condition package who wants to know which documents the firm can produce.

Documentation Ecosite Solutions prepares

Document What it covers
Statements of Environmental Effects Prepared to meet Local and State Government requirements for development applications
Post-approval management plans Plans required after approval, prepared to satisfy consent conditions
Vegetation surveys Coordinated on the applicant's behalf
Threatened Species assessments Coordinated on the applicant's behalf

The company describes this work as preparing "all the relevant documentation to meet the requirements of Local and State Government."

How this fits with the rest of their services

The documentation work sits alongside two related services:

  • Construction compliance — reviewing Conditions of Consent, Management Plans and Policies, determining your level of compliance, providing guidance for ongoing compliance, and conducting an internal audit of your site in preparation for full Independent Audits.
  • Large scale renewables — preparing all relevant post-approval documentation required to meet Local and State Government Conditions of Consent, plus day-to-day onsite environmental management, specialised advice, or backroom planning and compliance.

If your project is a large-scale renewable development, the post-approval documentation is handled under that service rather than as a standalone development application task.

Other plans they prepare

Ecosite Solutions also prepares Certified Farm Plans, which some Government and Statutory Authorities now require before entering into funding arrangements with landholders. These plans cover on-farm issues including vegetation management, irrigation management, livestock management and infrastructure.

What to check before engaging them

  • Confirm which Local or State Government requirements apply to your specific application, since the company prepares documentation to meet those requirements rather than a fixed document list.
  • If you need vegetation surveys or Threatened Species assessments, note that the company coordinates these rather than necessarily performing them in-house.
  • For projects already approved, ask about the internal audit service if you want to check your compliance position before a full Independent Audit.
