BAT CALL ANALYSIS

Specialist bat consulting for your site

Discover exactly which bat species use your site and what it means for your project. We identify bat species, activity patterns, and collision risk upfront - so you have defensible baseline data before major work begins.

What this solves

Finding an unexpected bat presence mid-project creates regulatory complexity and delays in approvals.

Regulators need proof that the species won't be significantly impacted. We identify which bat species use your site, their activity patterns, and collision risk upfront - so you have defensible baseline data before major work begins.

1

Site assessment & monitoring design

We evaluate habitat and then design an acoustic monitoring programme tailored to your project’s needs and regulatory requirements.

2

Data collection

Acoustic recorders are deployed across seasons and site habitats to gather data.

3

Expert species identification

Raw data analysed using specialised software and local bat ecology expertise.

4

Impact & risk assessment

We translate call data into what it means for your project: which species are present, activity levels, high-risk periods or locations, potential for collision or habitat disturbance.

5

Mitigation & management strategy

Recommendations for managing identified risks: operational protocols, habitat protection, ongoing monitoring triggers, adaptive management.

Why Nature Advisory

Nature Advisory holds multi-site qualifications, via regulatory experts with deep EPBC knowledge as well as windfarm monitoring specialists. We interpret what bat data means for your project. Our specialist software can identify calls; experts interpret what the data means in context.

We know which bat species trigger federal EPBC referral, what evidence regulators will require, and what mitigation they'll accept. This regulatory intelligence shapes our assessment approach.

Our assessments withstand regulatory scrutiny and panel challenge because they're rigorous, peer-reviewed, and grounded in precedent knowledge.
