What We Do
Specialist coastal approvals — start to finish.
From trigger analysis at concept stage through to post-approval monitoring, we handle every part of the Queensland coastal approvals process.
Approvals & Permits
Navigate Queensland's complex coastal permit system with confidence.
Development permits, tidal works approvals, coastal management plans, and marine park permits. We know exactly what SARA, the relevant Port Authority, and QPS need — and how to give it to them.
Surveys & Assessments
Rigorous environmental assessments that satisfy regulators and inform good decisions.
Seagrass surveys, coastal hazard assessments, ecological assessments for EPBC and MSES matters, and erosion/accretion reports. Field-based, evidence-led, QLD-specific.
Monitoring & Advisory
Ongoing compliance, condition monitoring, and strategic planning advice.
Post-approval condition monitoring, compliance reporting, expert witness services, and strategic guidance for councils and developers planning long-term coastal infrastructure.
Approvals Strategy
Map every statutory requirement before design gets too far ahead.
Trigger analysis at concept stage, constraints mapping that reflects how legislation is actually applied, and a pathway brief you can take straight to a design meeting.
Submission Preparation
Submissions written in the language assessment officers use.
SDAP responses written to the standard SARA expects, method statements your permit conditions will reflect, and regulator engagement that resolves issues before they become formal responses.
Marine Plant Surveys
Field surveys that stand up to technical review.
Mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass surveys following recognised field methodologies. Impact pathways, mitigation strategies, and reports written to support efficient regulatory decisions.
