Environmental Impact Assessment

Our team of industry-leading consultants will navigate your development through the complex approval process. We are committed to creating lasting community benefit through the delivery of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and obtaining approvals and permits. Our clients benefit from our extensive local experience working with complex environmental challenges on major projects.

Element has worked tirelessly to create strong relationships and build a reputation with regulators, with our high quality documentation and reports. Our focus is on delivering tailored and strategic approaches to approvals designed to maximise opportunities, minimise risks, streamline decision making and ensure positive project outcomes every time.

Environmental Management

We offer a broad range of environmental management services to help our clients develop projects, enhance performance, while managing risks and impacts. We have earned a reputation for excellence by offering practical and innovative solutions to all levels of government authorities, public and private organisations.

Element can provide the full spectrum of environmental management services to assist you to make informed decisions about your business and environmental risks, and to develop risk management strategies. We have qualified environmental scientists with extensive experience in the assessment, identification, and management of environmental issues.

Element removes the internal burden and becomes your ally in providing environmental management and ongoing advice on mid-construction and post-approval decisions. We are there to see you through the entire lifecycle of your project.
