Carefully relocating a magpie's nest

Our construction team discovered a magpie nest with three eggs in a tree marked for removal on Riverparks Way. With the help of a fauna spotter, the team moved to protect the magpie's family. Using an Elevated Work Platform, the nest was carefully relocated to a nearby tree of similar height, ensuring the nest remained safe.

Crews noticed a magpie soon returned to inspect the new nest location, and to their relief, accepted it. This successful relocation highlights our commitment to balancing construction with environmental care, ensuring wildlife protection while advancing the project.
