Agricultural, Environmental & Land Use Strategists
Environmental Consulting
At Danaca, we provide expert natural resource management and environmental consulting services for projects of all sizes—from small developments to complex infrastructure. We partner with your team of engineers, planners, and architects to design and deliver projects that respect and protect the environment.
The BC Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) requires that any proposed development within 30 m of a watercourse that provides fish habitat or flows into fish habitat be assessed by a Qualified Environmental Professional. Most municipalities in BC require RAPR assessments as part of the development permit process for proposed work near streams, lakes, wetlands, or ditches.
Our team has successfully completed many RAPR assessments in watersheds throughout Vancouver Island. If you are needing assistance with an assessment for your development we are here to help! Feel free to reach out with the details of your project, our QEPs would be happy to answer your questions and guide you through the approval process.
Other services include:
Compliance support for the Water Sustainability Act and local government environmental development permit areas
Wildfire Risk Assessments
Sediment and erosion control planning
Ecosystem restoration and invasive species management
Comprehensive Environmental Overviews, including species-at-risk assessments, bird surveys, and contaminated site reviews
Grounded in science and backed by a collective of skilled professionals, we help move your project forward—responsibly and sustainably.
Land Development
We are an experienced, multi-disciplinary land-use consultancy dedicated to delivering practical and innovative solutions for land planning and development.
Specializing in small- and medium-scale rezonings and subdivisions, we partner with engineers, planners, architects, and other professionals to seamlessly manage your project through the local government approval process.
We can also help you secure business licenses, building permits, development permits and temporary use permits, ensuring your project meets all local regulatory requirements.
Our team liaises directly with councils, boards, municipal and regional staff, as well as provincial and federal agencies—coordinating every detail so your project moves forward smoothly and successfully.
We have experience assisting communities in Newfoundland and Labrador amend their Municipal Plan and Development Regulations.

We have extensive experience preparing agricultural buffer reports and agricultural compliance reports to meet the requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).
Whether your project is adjacent to agricultural land or within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), we can help you navigate the complexities of planning and development to ensure your project aligns with ALR Act, Regulation and policies.
