Environmental Planning

Environment and Resources

Environment and resource issues often overlap and generate interdependencies that require careful management. Holmes Dyer’s experience is with the assessment of the planning and development consequences of these issues as part of a process that is typically seeking to deliver an urban development or resource delivery outcome. These projects can range from major urban development projects located in sensitive environments to resource development projects to environmental guidelines for improve sustainability performance to
the reuse of former quarry sites.

Typically, Holmes Dyer will provide its planning expertise in these projects but will rely upon our coordination of a range of sub-consultants as appropriate to provide the required technical expertise in areas of specialization relevant to a particular project.

Quarries and Mines

Holmes Dyer has been responsible for numerous investigations and proposals involving quarries and mines and their relationship to surrounding and nearby land uses and development activity. Projects have typically involved the coordination of consultant teams to evaluate impacts on surrounding development and/or the consequences of quarries and mines on new urban development proposals, communication and consultation with State Government, various agencies, local government, local landowners and the wider community, and preparation of rezoning proposals, development applications and major development proposals.
