Regulatory Approval

Compliance with host country regulations is a prerequisite to any health, safety and environmental program.

We have significant, demonstrated and on-going experience in project managing the approvals process for projects, both large or small. With our breadth of experience we can provide clients with clear advice on the latest regulations at a national and international level, ensuring that plans for the future can be made and necessary changes integrated into the company policy and management systems.

The process generally starts with the development of customised approval strategies, including environment, land access, cultural heritage and native title matters. This enables approvals, schedules and budgets to be fine-tuned to ensure they meet the requirements of multiple jurisdictions and government agencies. We are experienced in negotiating approvals strategies, coordinating specialist studies and preparing submissions for exploration, production or development approvals and are able to manage the approvals process throughout the life of a project.

Codes of Practice:
Today, demonstrating environmental commitment and responsibility is a pre-requisite to maintaining a licence to operate. Our experience in assisting industry representative bodies, resource companies and government agencies to develop practical and achievable Codes of Practice, is extensive and we have additionally assisted many companies in integrating Codes of Practice into their organisation via effective training and education programs.
