Planning and approvals

Environmental advice for development applications, planning requirements and approval-sensitive sites.

iEnvi assists developers, landowners, councils and institutional project teams where contaminated land, ecology, groundwater, fill quality or broader environmental constraints affect a development application, planning requirement, consent condition or approval pathway.

Development site requiring planning and environmental advice

Typical matters

  • Development applications, planning permit conditions and approval-stage contamination questions.

Scope of advice

  • Clear advice on what regulators, councils, auditors or other stakeholders are likely to need next.
