The Squirrel glider (Petaurus norfolcensis), listed as Endangered in South Australia, is a nocturnal gliding possum found in open forests and woodlands of eastern Australia. It uses folds of skin between its limbs to glide between trees in search of nectar, pollen and insects.
Venomous Snake Removal + Relocation
Venomous snakes are an unavoidable reality on worksites, particularly across Queensland, Western Australia, and regional Australia more broadly.
From Eastern Browns encountered during pipeline trenching to Mulga Snakes on remote mining leases, these species pose genuine safety risks to workers and communities. Yet they also play an essential ecological role and are protected under state legislation. Improper handling not only endangers people but can also result in significant compliance breaches and potential fines.
The Lesser Black Whipsnake (Demansia vestigiata) is a slender, fast-moving snake found across northern Australia. Mildly venomous but not considered dangerous to humans, it preys mainly on small lizards which it captures with speed and precision.

Fauna Resources provides licensed snake handlers who respond quickly and effectively to encounters on active sites.
Our team is equipped with the skills, equipment and permits required to safely capture and relocate venomous snakes to appropriate habitat away from project areas. Every relocation is documented in line with environmental approvals and incident reporting protocols, ensuring transparency and compliance.
With decades of experience, our fauna personnel understand the behaviour of Australia’s dangerous snakes.
We work closely with site supervisors to integrate snake management into broader safety and environmental frameworks, minimising downtime while protecting both workers and wildlife. Our approach combines occupational health and safety priorities with ethical conservation practices – meaning staff are kept safe, projects remain compliant and snakes are given the best chance of survival.
The Mulga Snake (Pseudechis australis), listed as Least Concern in Queensland, is one of Australia’s largest venomous snakes. Also known as the King Brown, it is actually a member of the black snake family (Pseudechis) and inhabits a wide range of arid and semi-arid regions across the country.

Fauna Training + Education
Onsite staff are often the first to encounter wildlife during clearing, construction or site operations. Without the right training, these encounters can lead to unnecessary stress for fauna, safety risks for workers and potential breaches in environmental approvals. Knowledge is the most effective tool to prevent these outcomes.
Fauna training is essential to ensure staff can safely identify, handle and protect wildlife while meeting environmental and compliance obligations on site.
Fauna Resources delivers tailored training programs for contractors, councils and industry teams across Australia.
Our training covers fauna awareness, safe handling of reptiles and small mammals, identification of threatened species, biosecurity protocols and compliance with state and federal legislation. Sessions can be delivered in the classroom or onsite, with practical demonstrations and real-world scenarios drawn from our extensive field experience.
By investing in fauna training, your workforce gains the confidence and competence to manage wildlife responsibly.
Our trainers are qualified ecologists and accredited fauna spotter catchers who combine scientific knowledge with hands-on experience. Staff walk away with the skills to identify species, follow correct reporting procedures, and reduce risk to both themselves and the animals. These programs not only improve safety and compliance but also foster a culture of environmental stewardship across your project teams.
Our Fauna Spotter Catchers are trained in the correct handling techniques of sensitive species.
Empower your workforce with practical skills and ecological awareness. Contact Fauna Resources today to schedule a tailored fauna training and education program for your team.
Nest Box Installation + Monitoring
Habitat loss from clearing, fire, and urban development has reduced the availability of tree hollows, which provide critical shelter and breeding sites for many of Australia’s native birds, mammals and reptiles. Without intervention, species such as gliders, parrots, microbats and other species face declining populations from reductions in habitat.
Nest boxes provide vital artificial hollows for wildlife, supporting species that depend on tree cavities for shelter and breeding where natural hollows are scarce.
Fauna Resources offers nest box installation and monitoring that provides immediate replacement habitat where the removal of hollow-bearing trees has reduced available habitat.
Our team designs and installs species-specific nest boxes suited to local fauna, ensuring durability and correct placement in the landscape. Ongoing monitoring is then conducted to record occupancy and uptake, breeding success and habitat use – providing valuable ecological data for clients and regulators alike.
Nest boxes are not just a compliance measure, they’re a genuine conservation tool.
Our approach supports offset strategies, promotes biodiversity recovery and demonstrates a visible commitment to environmental responsibility. By choosing Fauna Resources, you gain the assurance that installations are scientifically designed, ethically managed and closely monitored for long-term success.
Squirrel Gliders (Petaurus norfolcensis) are nocturnal marsupials of eastern Australian woodlands, gliding between trees on skin folds to feed on nectar, pollen and insects.
Support wildlife recovery and strengthen your project’s environmental outcomes. Contact Fauna Resources today to discuss tailored nest box installation and monitoring solutions for your project.
Nuisance Wildlife Removal + Relocation
From possums rummaging in rooftops, to Brush turkeys taking a liking to your garden beds, nuisance wildlife can create safety risks, damage property and disrupt daily operations. In industrial, commercial and residential settings, managing wildlife without professional support risks harm to both animals and people, while also exposing projects to possible fines or regulatory action.

Fauna Assessments + Management Plans
Any project that involves vegetation clearing, ground disturbance or habitat modification has the potential to impact native wildlife. Without thorough fauna assessments and clear management plans, projects risk breaching environmental approvals, delaying works and causing unnecessary harm to biodiversity.
Preclearance assessments are vital for identifying and safely relocating wildlife before vegetation clearing, reducing impacts on fauna and ensuring legal and environmental compliance.
Fauna Resources delivers comprehensive fauna assessments and tailored management plans for projects across Queensland, Western Australia, and beyond.
Our ecologists conduct habitat surveys, targeted species assessments, and pre-clearance investigations to identify potential risks to wildlife. Using this data, we develop Fauna Management Plans that outline practical mitigation strategies, relocation procedures, and monitoring requirements in line with state and federal legislation.
We provide clients with practical, project-specific solutions that reduce risk, improve transparency and safeguard species on site.
Each plan integrates seamlessly with Environmental and Safety Management Plans and Quality frameworks, ensuring consistency across approvals. Whether working on a pipeline in WA or a transport corridor in Queensland, Fauna Resources ensures your strategies are defensible, ethical and workable on the ground.
Preclearance assessments are crucial for detecting and protecting fauna such as Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus), ensuring they are identified and safely managed before vegetation clearing begins.
Build your project on a foundation of solid ecological planning. Contact Fauna Resources today for fauna assessments and management plans that combine scientific accuracy with practical project expertise.
