Every Project Is Different

We don't apply cookie-cutter methodologies. Australian landscapes vary enormously—from tropical rainforests to arid spinifex plains, coastal wetlands to alpine meadows. Each environment demands specific expertise and locally-adapted approaches.

Our pricing reflects the actual work required for your specific site and objectives. The figures below represent starting points for typical engagements. We provide detailed quotes after an initial site review.

Ecological Impact Assessment

Comprehensive evaluations required for development applications. We survey existing flora and fauna, map habitat types, assess potential impacts, and design mitigation measures. Our reports satisfy state and federal regulatory requirements while providing practical guidance for project design.

Wildlife Population Surveys

Targeted monitoring for threatened and significant species. We deploy camera traps, acoustic recorders, and conduct field observations to establish population baselines and track changes. Methods follow national guidelines with enhancements based on our research partnerships.

$3,290 per survey cycle

Habitat Restoration Planning

Multi-year revegetation strategies for degraded land. We analyse soil conditions, hydrological patterns, and reference ecosystems to design planting palettes and maintenance schedules. Plans include species lists, sourcing pathways, and success metrics for adaptive management.

$7,650 per hectare plan

Environmental Compliance Audits

Independent assessment of your operations against permit conditions, development approvals, and environmental management plans. We identify gaps before regulators do and help develop practical remediation strategies. Particularly valuable before licence renewals or ownership transfers.

Carbon Offset Programs

Design and verification of nature-based carbon projects. We identify suitable land parcels, calculate sequestration potential, navigate registration processes, and provide ongoing monitoring to maintain credit integrity. Partnerships with accredited carbon market platforms available.

Sustainability Consulting

Strategic guidance for organisations seeking to reduce environmental footprint and meet ESG commitments. We conduct baseline assessments, identify priority actions, and develop implementation roadmaps. Particular expertise in land-sector emissions and biodiversity-positive supply chains.

Additional Capabilities

Threatened Species Management Plans

For sites with confirmed presence of listed species, we develop management frameworks that satisfy conditions of approval while enabling project activities. Plans include disturbance protocols, translocation procedures where appropriate, and long-term monitoring commitments. From $6,250 depending on species complexity.

Wetland Delineation and Assessment

Boundary mapping and functional assessment of wetland systems, including seasonal behaviour analysis. Essential for projects near waterways where buffer requirements and offset calculations depend on accurate wetland characterisation. From $3,780 per site.

Bushfire Ecology Services

Fire regime analysis, post-fire recovery monitoring, and prescribed burn planning for conservation outcomes. We help landholders balance fuel management with habitat protection, designing burn mosaics that support fire-dependent species. From $2,450 per assessment.

Expert Witness and Tribunal Support

Technical evidence for planning appeals, environmental prosecutions, and policy inquiries. Our senior ecologists have provided expert testimony in state tribunals, federal courts, and parliamentary committees. Rates from $385 per hour plus preparation time.

The team at glade-ocelot doesn't just write reports—they solve problems. When our original consultant couldn't find a way forward, they redesigned our site layout to avoid a koala corridor and actually reduced our offset liability. The project is now six months ahead of the original timeline.
