OUR STORY
Built In The Field, Not The Office
Founded more than two decades ago by a small team of field biologists, Section 40 Environmental grew from humble ute-based fauna spotting into a nationwide partner for comprehensive environmental services. Our journey began with early morning surveys in remote bushland and evolved into advising major resource companies on complex regulatory challenges. Over the years we have expanded our expertise to include dieback mapping, environmental impact assessments and labour hire, yet our hands- on approach and love for the outdoors remain unchanged. Every project still starts with boots on the ground, sharp observation and a commitment to honest, practical solutions.
OUR VALUES
People, Wildlife, Future-Focused
We believe effective environmental management starts with respect: for people, for wildlife and for the future. Safety and integrity guide every interaction, ensuring our clients, staff and the species we protect are cared for at every step. We champion evidence-based decision-making, using sound science to balance commercial goals with ecological responsibility. Collaboration is in our DNA, so we work closely with regulators, Traditional Owners and local communities to achieve outcomes everyone can stand behind.
