Offset planning and management
Our specific knowledge of the planning stages of biodiversity offsetting can successfully guide you through these critical early stages.
We apply our knowledge and experience in the biodiversity offsetting process to a range of projects in land development, renewable energy including wind and solar, linear infrastructure, water and sewer infrastructure, dams, quarries, as well as residential subdivisions and other commercial developments.
Our sound, practical advice provided via ongoing and open communication, ensures that agency expectations are met to support a smooth approvals process.
With specialist staff accredited under the requirements of the NSW Biodiversity Offset Scheme, we can deliver all required surveys, calculations and reporting according to the NSW Biodiversity Assessment Methodology (BAM), including Biodiversity Certification.
Our team is also experienced with offset strategy and management plan development under both Queensland and Victorian legislation, as well as under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
