The preferred bypass route included a section of Mitchell's Rainforest Snail habitat.
A team of independent ecologists spent more than 600 hours surveying the area for Mitchell's Rainforest Snail.
The intensive effort of the onsite ecologists was hugely successful. They found and safely relocated Mitchell's Rainforest Snails.
Pre and post clearing surveys
Fauna underpass
As part of the construction of Stage 2, we built a fauna underpass to connect the wetland.
The underpass floor was lined with leaf litter, logs and naturally occurring soil, to provide a suitable path for the Mitchell's Rainforest Snails.
