Environmental Planning and Approvals

Undertaking an environmental impact assessment at the planning and investigative stage ensures that environmental and planning criteria are factored in at the start of a project, reducing the risk of cost and time penalties.

In addition, the assessment is also critical to project implementation as it often forms part of mandatory environmental management plans, management systems and compliance inspections and audits.

Hydro Tasmania Consulting provides a full range of environmental planning and impact assessment services for:

• pre-feasibility
• feasibility
• approvals and/or construction stages of your development.

We provide a multi-disciplinary project management approach including:

• managing and negotiating approvals processes (local, state and federal)

• social and heritage impact assessments
• environmental risk management
• route and site selection using our in-house environmental assessment GIS (EAGIS) planning tool
