Environmental Impact Assessment

“Environmental Impact Assessment” is a generic term for determining the types and severity of an activity’s environmental impacts. Environmental Impacts Assessments are a normal part of the regulatory approval process and is a good due diligence practice.

Ecologia Environment has prepared and performed EIAs since our establishment in 1989, and today they’re a routine part of project review and statutory approval.

Our track record in formal impact assessments as part of major project approvals is well established and provides us with extensive experience and knowledge in the processes involved.

Over the years we have built sound relationships with regulatory and non-regulatory stakeholders involved in both approvals and ongoing management of the resources industry, and understand their expectations in project environmental management. This allows us to ensure that projects achieve balance between the environmental expectations of stakeholders with commercial requirements.

We can assist you by:

• Identifying the type of impact assessment most likely required for your activity.
• Conducting terrestrial and subterranean fauna and flora surveys.
• Advising you on other specialist scientific expertise that may be required, and provide contacts where appropriate.
• Managing your environmental contractors for a total environmental management approach.
• Conducting an impact assessment for your project.
• Documenting the assessment in a format which will be accepted by regulators and can be used as part of your environmental management plan.
• Consulting with regulators, non-regulatory stakeholders and other interested parties.
• Managing the entire approvals or reporting process on your behalf.
