Billabong Creek (near Illabo) to Stockinbingal flora and fauna surveys
From 17 October 2023, specialist consultants WSP and Niche, working on behalf of Inland Rail, will conduct follow up flora and fauna surveys along various public roads and private land.
Work being done
Survey teams will travel along the following public road reserves and access private land, subject to landowner permission. Locations include:
- Old Sydney Road
- Ironbong Road
- Dirnaseer Road
- Old Cootamundra Road
- Dudauman Road.
Machinery used
- 4WD vehicles,
- flora survey equipment,
- fauna surveying equipment such as spotlights,
- call broadcasters,
- bat traps and
- recorders and cameras.
How we’re managing impacts
These surveys will largely be non-impactful except for occasional owl calls and other fauna calls broadcast at night.
4WD vehicle movements will be kept short and will only occur over a small number of days.
