In Australia there are legislative requirement for potential environmental impacts, both positive and negative, to be assessed prior to a project or development proposal being approved. Consequently, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a fundamental stage in any proposal, and warrants a systematic and orderly evaluation by experienced environmental professionals.
For many years Bioscience has provided professional EIA in accordance with both WA state and federal legislation (i.e. Environmental Protection Act 1986 Part IV and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, respectively). We offer EIA from preliminary desk-top investigations to a comprehensive investigation and report, involving environmental surveys, conceptual modelling and community consultation.
We endeavour to provide expert advice to ensure environmental impacts are identified early in the planning and design phase of a proposal so that measures can be been taken to avoid, and where this is not possible, to minimise impacts on the environment.
