Cosgroves Creek - Archaeological and Ecological site assessments.

From early May 2024, our team of Ecologists and Archaeologists will start site assessments along the proposed wastewater pipeline alignment in the Cosgroves Creek precinct. This assessment will inform the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and help us to identify potential environmental and archaeological constraints, develop mitigation measures and inform the design.

The Ecological assessment consists of:  

  • Identifying and recording several types of animals and plant communities. 

  • Taking measurements in multiple locations around grassy areas and near trees. 

  • Recording of areas with high biodiversity. 

  • Identifying and recording trees that provide habitats for wildlife. 

  • Assessing and monitoring of environment around creeks and/or ponds. 

 

The Archaeologist assessment consists of: 

  •   Walking across an area recording items of archaeological significance if found. 

  • Digging using hand tools to identify any items found. If we need to dig by hand, we will backfill immediately after inspection. 

  • Using cameras, notebooks and measuring tools. 

You may notice our team driving through your area doing these assessments on public roads and reserves. If we need to enter your property, our Community Engagement Team will contact you directly to discuss access.
