Formerly Brett Lane & Associates Pty Ltd, established in 2001, Nature Advisory is one of Australia’s leading ecological consultancies. Based primarily in Melbourne, the company has a network of specialists in other states and alliances with local assessment and approval specialist companies to assist where required. Our long-serving, stable team of professionals has extensive experience addressing the biodiversity information requirements of decision-makers and regulators throughout Australia.
The community’s expectations of biodiversity protection, impact assessment and offsetting are expressed in the regulatory framework that all developers must address. Meeting these expectations poses challenges that Nature Advisory can identify and advise you on. We are solutions-focussed and will map out a process for ensuring an effective response to these regulations that is scientific, rigorous, timely and relevant.
With its involvement over almost 20 years in several thousand projects valued at tens of billions of dollars, the Nature Advisory team can advise on strategies to address the biodiversity regulations at state and Commonwealth levels. For an individual project, the company can identify flora, fauna and native vegetation issues and solutions for every stage in the project cycle, from due diligence, pre-feasibility, feasibility and planning approval, to pre-construction and construction planning, operational monitoring and decommissioning.
Nature Advisory has extensive experience in a range of sectors, including property development, renewable energy, linear infrastructure (such as roads, railways, powerlines and pipelines), ports, tourism, bushfire and natural resource management. The breadth and length of its experience, as well as the stability of its expert team provide our clients with access to some of the best biodiversity advice available.
