Environmental Management Plan Inclusions
Our EMPs are scoped and regulator-ready, tailored to site conditions, proposed activities, and approval conditions. We prepare numerous types of Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) that document identified risks, management controls, monitoring requirements, roles and responsibilities, and reporting frameworks.
Where required, EMPs are supported by targeted sub-plans, which may include weed and dieback management, erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, fauna and flora management, rehabilitation, revegetation and offsets.
Adjacent services such as environmental surveys, offsets strategy development, and agency liaison can be provided to support approvals and implementation.

Customer Reviews
Avoid Non-Compliance and Costly Rework
Commencing works without a documented plan increases the risk of non-compliance, on-site incidents, unplanned delays and budget blow outs. Preparing an EMP early clarifies responsibilities, aligns designers and contractors, and ensures required controls are in place before mobilisation.
Where construction windows, seasonal constraints or tender deadlines apply, a complete and approved plan reduces the likelihood of stop-work directions, additional studies, or late-stage design changes.
