Environmental Impact Assessments
Project approvals are granted based on detailed and accurate assessments of potential impacts to the environment and biodiversity.
Identifying impacts specific to the proposed works and providing appropriate and feasible mitigations to those impacts are key to a project gaining required approvals. Our environmental impact assessments provide decision makers at the local, state, and federal level with the detail required to accurately assess and confidently approve your project.
Capabilities
- Desktop assessments of relevant state and federal databases to identify records or likely occurrence of threatened plants, animals, and communities including matters of national environmental significance (MNES).
- Review of projects against state and federal legislative requirements and local planning schemes to identify required approval pathways.
- Detailed environmental site assessments to identify values, risks, and opportunities for project environmental management.
- Quantification of impacts to native vegetation and significant impact assessments for MNES.
- Produce reports including recommendations for mitigating actions, further studies and project delivery that will ensure timely approval of projects resulting in minimal environmental harm.
- Coordinate other specialist consultants (cultural heritage advisors, arborists etc) input where required.
