Our Fauna Spotter Catcher crews arrive before any blade or bucket hits the soil, locating, capturing and relocating native animals so your works stay on schedule and in full legal compliance.
From Pilbara mine sites to South-West subdivisions, we mobilise qualified fauna spotter catchers WA-wide within forty-eight hours. Each team carries purpose-built capture kits, GPS logging tablets and refrigerated release boxes, delivering turnkey solutions that satisfy Section 40 permit conditions and keep diggers moving.
Our fauna spotters grew up in Western Australia’s varied ecosystems, so they recognise tracks, calls and micro-habitats others miss. That local insight means faster animal detection, fewer project stoppages and a deeper respect for Country when partnering with Traditional Owner monitors.
We handle induction, daily capture logs, GPS maps and Endangered Species Detection reports in one neat digital package. Supervisors simply upload our files to their compliance portal and tick the box, avoiding paperwork traps and unexpected regulator call-backs.
We bring over 20 years of practical know-how in fauna management and environmental services, offering reliable guidance every step of the way

We act as your one-stop shop, from detailed surveying and training to full compliance assistance, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
Whether relocating pythons from trench lines or coaxing possums from roof voids, our animal catcher specialists work shoulder-to-shoulder with operators, maintaining safe exclusion zones while machinery keeps cycling. Less downtime, more productivity, zero wildlife harm.
Fauna spotter catchers are required by WA clearing regulations to locate, safely capture and immediately relocate native animals before machinery starts. Without them protected fauna can be injured, and you risk heavy compliance penalties, shut-downs and reputational damage. Our team arrives before ground disturbance, documents each relocation for your records and provides daily briefings so supervisors stay fully informed.
Our process starts with a pre-clearing habitat sweep, followed by continuous surveillance from elevated vantage points and on-ground patrols while works progress. Captured fauna are logged, photographed, assessed for injury and released into pre-approved refuge sites outside the impact zone. We compile a digital register that satisfies Section 40 reporting, saving your HSE team hours of paperwork.
Every spotter catcher on our roster holds Cert III or higher in Conservation and Ecosystem Management, reptile handling permits and advanced wildlife first aid accreditation. We regularly drill evacuation scenarios, heat stress protocols and low-light capture techniques. These qualifications mean you receive competent, safety-focused personnel who mesh seamlessly with mine site and civil construction induction standards.
Yes, endangered species detection is integral to our service. We carry species ID guides, infra-red thermal scopes and call-playback devices to confirm presence of EPBC-listed fauna such as black cockatoos, bilbies and quenda. If detected, we create buffer zones, liaise with regulators and adapt works to avoid critical habitat. Our call logs and GPS tracks form defensible evidence for audit teams.
We understand tight schedules. Our crews mobilise anywhere in WA within forty-eight hours and work split shifts so there is always a qualified observer on site during daylight operations. Weekly look-ahead meetings align capture activities with blasting, trenching and topsoil stripping, preventing downtime. When rain pushes timelines, we re-sequence surveys to keep the programme moving safely. Night spotlighting can be added when nocturnal fauna are likely.
We service the entire state, from Pilbara iron ore tenements through Goldfields rail corridors to Perth metro subdivisions. Remote jobs are supported by satellite comms, mobile vet kits and 4×4 fit-outs with refrigerated recovery boxes that maintain stable temperatures for fauna transport over long distances. No matter the terrain, we bring the equipment and expertise to protect wildlife and keep your project compliant.
Partnering with us means you get a straightforward, supportive experience. Get in touch today so we can handle your environmental compliance while you focus on running your operation.
