Powlett Environmental Services provides practical solutions for our clients', which are based on technical expertise and detailed understanding of environmental policy and legislation. However, based on our experience, we know understanding our client's drivers behind a project are just as important as understanding the environmental conditions and regulatory requirements.
We focus on outcome and risk-based assessments and solutions. We work with our clients to identify potential issues early and provide options for addressing these issues that meet the project drivers and statutory requirements.
This outcome and risk-based approach is designed to build stakeholder, and ultimately the assessment agencies, confidence that the issues raised by a project are understood, adequately assessed and any residual environmental impacts are both known and manageable. We believe this approach provides the greatest opportunity to result in realistic, achievable and cost effective project approvals.
We can provide ongoing strategic advice and support in relation too permitting, operating and closure strategies for projects. This can include identification of risks for particular permitting pathways and scoping specialist studies required to meet terms of reference.
Other services include support for the preparation of annual, environmental, and sustainability reporting.
We provide preliminary and desktop scoping assessment and preliminary referral documentation to meet Commonwealth or state and territory requirements.
In relation to environmental assessment and approvals, we prepare and manage application documentation. This includes technical supervision and direction of specialist sub-consultants and stakeholder consultation and regulator liaison.
Following environmental approval, there are many other environmental management and compliance requirements that need to be met.
We work with our clients to support them with environmental management and compliance with the post-approval process through to project construction, operation and closure.
Understanding the environmental risks for a project or policy is can assist with minimising costs, approval timeframes, or improve production efficiency. We can help clients with environmental risk assessment for whole of project or aspect specific matters.
We can also assist with environmental due diligence assessments for project financing and insurance, acquisitions and mergers, and routine operational reviews.
