The Environmental Division provides advice and direction on environmental approvals for both government and private clients at all levels of Federal, State and Local Government.

Examples of these studies and approvals include the Fauna and Biodiversity Management Strategy for the Brisbane Airport Corporation; the Environmental Impact Statement for Australia's largest prawn farm development; numerous ecological assessments, water sensitive urban design studies, soil contamination studies and environmental management plans for residential and industrial developments throughout South-East Queensland; threatened species monitoring programmes; review of environmental factor reports for Department of Main Roads; environmental audits of business activities for major corporations such as Queensland Rail; and various environmental studies for the Asian Development Bank and AusAID in South-East Asia and the Pacific.

Our services can be provided on an individual basis or as part of an integrated package with other divisions within our company.
