Assessing environmental impacts across Australia
A vital component of effective town planning is the assessment of the environmental impacts of development projects at local, State and Federal levels.
Sargeant Planning is adept in impact assessment. We are also always abreast of emerging trends and changes to assessment approaches.
With specialised knowledge of the matters affecting development, our team applies solution-driven and analytical approaches to these assessments.
The result is a clear understanding of the implications for the planning strategy and subsequent development.
By integrating environmental factors into the overall town planning process, we ensure that development applications progress efficiently.
Impact assessment
Environmental Impact Assessments identify the consequences of development activities on the environment.
Sargeant Planning’s experts identify and evaluate the economic, environmental and social impact of developments. We provide clients and governments with this information to inform decision making. This process promotes environmentally sustainable development with use of appropriate alternatives and mitigation measures.
Threatened species
Finding the best development outcomes
“Australia is home to more than 500,000 animal and plant species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. In NSW alone there are close to 1000 animal and plant species at risk of extinction.” NSW Office of Environment & Heritage
Sargeant Planning can determine whether a development is likely to affect threatened species, ecological communities or their habitats. We’re accredited to apply biodiversity assessment methods, including surveys.
Our technical expertise and on the ground knowledge of species and their habitats mean we can provide the right information to clients and consent authorities. We apply this information to design the best outcomes.
