Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

Environmental Impact Assessments evaluate the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of proposed developments before they proceed. We guide clients through the full EIA process, ensuring compliance with environmental legislation while supporting informed and sustainable decision-making.

Basic Assessments (BAR)

Basic Assessment Reports are required for activities with potentially moderate environmental impacts under South African environmental legislation. We manage the assessment process from planning to submission, ensuring all regulatory requirements and stakeholder engagement obligations are met.

Section 24G Applications

Section 24G Applications assist clients in regularising activities that commenced without the required environmental authorisation (EA). We provide professional guidance throughout the application process, helping to achieve compliance while minimising regulatory risks.

Applicability Checklists

Applicability Checklists determine whether a proposed activity requires environmental authorisation (EA) or other regulatory approvals. We assess project activities against applicable legislation to provide clear, practical guidance before project implementation or to demonstrate to the Competent Authority that EA is not required.

Renewable Energy Exclusion Applications

Renewable Energy Exclusion Applications assess whether qualifying renewable energy projects may be excluded from specific EIA requirements. We prepare and manage applications in accordance with current legislative requirements, helping to streamline project approvals.

Maintenance Management Plans (MMP)

Maintenance Management Plans provide a structured approach for undertaking maintenance activities while protecting environmental resources and maintaining regulatory compliance. We develop practical, site-specific plans that support efficient maintenance operations and environmental stewardship.

Environmental Management Plans (EMP)

Environmental Management Plans outline the measures required to avoid, minimise, and manage environmental impacts throughout a project's lifecycle. We prepare tailored EMPs that promote legal compliance, environmental best practice, and responsible project implementation.

Water Use Licence Applications (WULA)

Water Use Licence Applications are required for activities that involve the use of water resources as defined by the National Water Act. We assist clients with the preparation, submission, and management of WULA applications to support regulatory compliance and sustainable water resource management.

Heritage Notice of Intent to Develop (NID)

A Notice of Intent to Develop is submitted to the relevant heritage authority to determine whether a Heritage Impact Assessment or any other specialist studies from a heritage point of view are required for a proposed development. We prepare and submit NID applications, ensuring heritage considerations are addressed early in the planning process.

Independent Environmental Guidance and Review

We provide independent environmental advice and technical reviews to support informed decision-making across a wide range of projects. Our objective, evidence-based approach helps clients identify risks, ensure legislative compliance, and achieve practical, sustainable environmental outcomes.
