Sally coordinates operational aspects of the field program, ensuring regulatory requirements associated with operating across the country are met. Sally coordinates the delivery of the Australian Government Department for Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water (DCCEEW) project, which provides standardised ecological monitoring survey protocols for the natural resource management community. More information on this project is found on the Ecological Monitoring System Australia website Previous roles have seen Sally lead auditing for environmental compliance at mine sites, statutory reporting on environmental compliance across a range of industries, preparing environmental impact assessments and approvals documents for various mining companies in both Western Australia and South Australia, and developing environmental management plans for both off-shore gas facilities and nature reserves.
