The Planning and Environment team at McCullough Robertson is a recognised leader in navigating the complexities of environmental law. They advise both government and private sector clients on a wide range of complex projects across various industries, including waste management, property development, construction, power generation, mining, and industrial infrastructure.
Their expertise encompasses both front-end and back-end advice, focusing on environmental and regulatory approvals, environmental impact assessments, and legal risk mitigation. Known for their outstanding delivery of advice on these strategies and processes, they are trusted to advise on some of the largest greenfield and expansion projects in Australia.
As planning and environmental considerations increasingly impact commercial and government activities, their diverse practice supports major resource and energy companies, developers, property owners, funds, corporate groups, and local and state governments. They provide comprehensive advice on town planning legal issues, due diligence, development approvals, compliance, resumption and compensation, tourism, and other environmental matters.
They also address key considerations such as land access and tenure, environmental defence, and executive officer liability. Always guiding clients through complexity, their team continuously reviews professional standards to ensure commercial success.
