Environmental Assessment & Approvals

We help clients navigate complex environmental and regulatory requirements to get major projects approved and delivered.

Our national team works across some of Australia’s most complex and high-profile projects in the mining, energy, infrastructure, government, manufacturing, and land development sectors. From early feasibility and site or route selection through assessment and approvals, construction, and operation, we provide strategic advice and practical support across the project life cycle.

We work with clients early to identify environmental, social, and regulatory risks and opportunities, establish the right approvals pathway, and integrate environmental considerations into project planning and design. Our team leads and coordinates environmental impact assessments and technical studies, manages regulatory processes, and works directly with government agencies to resolve issues and progress timely approvals.

Our approach brings together environmental assessment, ecology, and technical specialists with experts in stakeholder and community engagement, strategic communications, and digital solutions. Together, we help clients understand and respond to community concerns, stakeholder sentiment, and emerging issues before they become barriers to project delivery. This integrated approach helps manage regulatory, community, and reputational risk while delivering clear, robust, and defensible assessment and approvals documentation.

We understand that securing an approval is only part of a successful project. Our focus is on achieving practical outcomes that support project schedule, budget, and reputation, while securing approval conditions that are workable through construction and operation.

By assembling teams that include former regulators, experienced consultants, and technical specialists, we provide the depth of expertise needed to anticipate issues, navigate complexity, and achieve successful project outcomes, not just approvals.
