What Ecologia Environment does

Ecologia Environment is a privately held Western Australian environmental consultancy founded in 1989 and headquartered in Osborne Park, Perth. The firm provides five integrated service lines: Biological Surveys (flora, vegetation, vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, subterranean fauna), Ecological Monitoring, Rehabilitation, Environmental Assessment and Management, and Spatial Services. Underlying technology is conventional scientific tooling, with ESRI ArcMap GIS software supporting desktop mapping, remote sensing, species distribution modeling and vegetation community mapping. Survey designs are compliant with Western Australian EPA guidelines and support regulatory approvals under State (EP Act Parts IV and V) and Commonwealth (EPBC Act) legislation.

The company operates as a project-based professional services firm, billing on a quote-by-project basis with pricing varying by scope, complexity and duration. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement, working side-by-side with clients throughout project development. Ecologia serves four primary verticals: the Resources Sector (mining and onshore oil and gas companies including Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, Pilbara Minerals and Minerals Resources), the Infrastructure Sector (renewable energy, utilities, transport and telecommunications including Main Roads WA, Water Corporation, Wind Prospect and Telstra), the Land Development Sector (Landcorp and residential/industrial developers), and the Government Sector (local government and federal departments). Notable enterprise logos span iron ore, lithium, nickel, renewable energy, road infrastructure and telecommunications engagements.

The firm has completed more than 2,000 projects and over 800 terrestrial fauna surveys across Western Australia. Its 11-50 employees are led by Managing Director Shaun (27 years experience) and Director Jeff (26 years experience), supported by Principal Botanist Andrew (PhD) and Senior Zoologist Tim. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company, appears to be founder/management-owned, and operates exclusively within Western Australia, servicing the Perth metropolitan area, Pilbara, Kimberley, Mid West, South West and Great Southern regions.
