Environmental Lot Protection Inspections
Kessels and Associates have prepared hundreds of assessment
reports for potential subdivisions and conservation lot covenants
on private land. We have experience assessing vegetation in
the Auckland, Franklin, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato and Waipa
Districts. Assessment begins with a site inspection and
detailed survey of indigenous flora and fauna, significance
assessments according to District Plan and Regional Plan criteria,
as well as potential impact assessment and mitigation
measures. These reports are often followed by the preparation
of restoration and management plans, which detail site specific
restoration measures, including plant and animal pest control,
restoration plantings (incl. suitable plant selection) and numbers
of plants, fencing and costing. Areas we specialize in
include bush remnants, freshwater wetlands and riparian
margins.
