ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING AND APPROVALS

No project can proceed without a valid legal authorisation(s). Critical to the success of the permit process is ensuring you have a robust Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA).The key to obtaining permits that allow a client to complete a project on time and on budget is understanding the information that must be submitted to the permitting authority and the environmental constraints on how and when that information may be obtained.
