Joshua Dellios

Josh specialises in helping clients navigate complex project approvals, land access and regulatory matters with a focus on the renewable energy, resources, infrastructure and urban development sectors. As a former environmental engineer and front-end corporate lawyer who has worked across Australia, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa, both government and private sector clients value his deep technical and commercial expertise and his solutions-focussed approach.

Josh's practice focusses on helping clients develop and maintain their social licence to operate. He works hand-in-glove with clients to help them deliver complex major projects, including developing and implementing land access and assembly strategies (covering both voluntary arrangements and compulsory access and compensation) and assisting them to obtain project approvals (including providing representation in contested hearings) for environmental, planning, cultural heritage, water and regulatory matters.

He also regularly advises on biodiversity and carbon markets; climate change, nature positive, ESG and sustainability; compliance, regulator investigation and prosecution matters; circular economy and waste management; cultural heritage compliance and management; rehabilitation and decommissioning; contaminated land management; environmental licensing and pollution control.
