Environment and Resources

Holmes Dyer provides planning and strategic advice on projects where environmental, resource, and development considerations intersect.

We work with clients to identify and manage environmental constraints, resource interests, and planning requirements, helping to achieve development outcomes that are both practical and sustainable. Our experience includes biodiversity and habitat considerations, coastal and hazard planning, climate adaptation, resource projects, and the redevelopment of environmentally sensitive or constrained sites.

Drawing on our planning expertise and a network of specialist consultants, we coordinate multidisciplinary project teams to deliver robust assessments, planning strategies, and approval pathways for complex projects.

Quarries and Mines

We assist clients in evaluating land use conflicts, assessing development implications, and navigating planning and approval processes. Our role often includes coordinating technical investigations, engaging with government agencies and stakeholders, and preparing rezoning proposals, planning policy amendments, and development applications.
