Our team has worked on both sides of impact assessment. In Government, as regulators and policy makers, and as consultants across dozens of projects in industries around Australia. Whether you have a big problem with a small project or a major development about to grind to a halt, we can help.

The majority of impact assessments are straightforward. The standard approach of surveys, an assessment report, avoidance of key habitat areas, and offsets will usually satisfy the regulator.

We specialise in impact assessments that go beyond this formula. When timeframes are tight or the path forward is unclear, our experience gives you the best chance to keep your project on track. To do this effectively, we:

• Understand your business needs. To choose the right approval strategy or recommend changes to reduce the impacts of your project we have to understand your business, your project, and your plans. This ensures that we find the solution that best fits your business.

• Engage with regulators. Understanding their concerns and requirements allows us to focus our efforts on the things that matter and maximise the chances of getting a good result.

• Bring in the right experts. If technical expertise is required, we draw on our network of ecologists, mapping and other experts. We are backed by proven teams that deliver quality work on time and on budget.

• Stay in touch. Clear and upfront communication keeps you up to date about the progress of your assessment and the likely outcome. This allows you to better manage your business risks and keep your project going.

Draw on our experience and insight to safely navigate your project through regulatory and environmental risk.
