Lisa Honan, Project Director, NSW Special Projects, Holcim

It has been wonderful working with the Element team on a complex impact assessment for industrial use. In complex projects, with multidisciplinary teams, it's important to have both an eye on the strategy, and on the granular, specific details of the project. Nev, Luke and the team were across all these components, successfully delivering an impact assessment for the regulator’s consideration – Thank you Element!
