The Specialists
Protection and restoration of the natural environment is a significant priority in government policies, programs, legislation and regulations. This requires technically sound information on the natural features of areas affected by human activities, such as the construction and operation of a range of developments and infrastructure.
Development companies and government agencies alike face significant challenges meeting these requirements while still achieving business objectives. Timely, accurate and defendable information on environmental impacts, as well as protection and mitigation measures, are essential to meeting these requirements and objectives.
Native vegetation protection laws and planning provisions, threatened species legislation and the Federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 require development assessment and operations to achieve strict environmental outcomes.
- BL&A has experience since 1979 in advising corporate, government and private clients in:
- Strategies for meeting the requirements of legislation and regulations protecting flora and fauna.
- The impacts of human activities on native vegetation, threatened species and ecosystems.
- Detailed surveys and investigations that inform planning, design, construction and operation of developments and infrastructure.
- Consultation and discussions with relevant regulatory bodies and broader stakeholders.
Our team of experienced scientists and project managers can assist
in all stages of a project, from due diligence and pre-feasibility
to operations and decommissioning. This will ensure compliance
with requirements to carefully assess and manage impacts on flora,
fauna and ecosystems.
