Environmental Assessments, Approvals and Reporting

Here in Tasmania, Natural Values Assessments (NVAs) are often a legislative requirement for planning stages of development proposals.

Our NVAs are provided to support local government planning requirements and can form the first phase of larger development assessments.

NVAs report on the potential impact of proposed developments on natural values. Natural values refer to biological and geological values of conservation significance, including species, vegetation communities, and sites listed under the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSP), and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC), and the Nature Conservation Act 2002.

Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) Assessments and Bushfire Hazard Management Plans (BHMP)

We are accredited Bushfire Risk Practitioners and provide risk analysis and Bushfire Hazard Management Plans for residential developments. Bushfire risk assessment and management are major components of all development planning in bushfire-prone areas across Tasmania.

We offer fire planning as a practical and complementary service to our natural values assessment as the two are often required for development assessments.

We provide the best possible advice to navigate the conflicting demands between vegetation removal and retention.

We provide integrated planning services for reserves and protected areas, providing a strategic long-term approach for managing values of natural areas.

Enviro-dynamics has experts in community engagement that can ensure that community values and how the public uses a reserve is fully integrated into the project planning and implementation.

Environmental assessments are a legislative requirement for development proposals that have the potential to impact environmental values.

We provide expert advice on flora and fauna with our team of ecologists and project managers who have extensive experience in navigating the approval processes, from local government through to State level / EPA Tasmania Assessment process, and meeting EPBC requirements for the Australian Government.

We work with clients to develop a bespoke product that meets the needs of each project with the intention of providing the best environmental solution for the situation.

Projects often require multiple overlapping assessments depending on location and activities planned. We provide integrated reporting and co-ordination across Natural Values Assessments, Full Environmental Impact Statements, Offset Management Plans, Construction and Environmental Plans, EPBC Act referrals, Threatened Species Protection Act (TSPA) permits, and can consider when things like the Biosecurity Act 2015, may come into play.

Enviro-dynamics can navigate this process with you ensuring a transparent, efficient, and compliant project.

As part of an ecological assessment our team will identify matters of national environmental significance (MNES) during the desktop component of the site study.

We do EPBC self-assessments and support full referrals and can help determine if a client needs to present their project for referral, ensuring legislative requirements are met without delay or confusion.

Enviro-dynamics develops Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) for projects all sizes. CEMPs ensure construction activities are managed to avoid or mitigate impacts on the natural environment. 

We have expertise with large infrastructure projects including wind farms, irrigation schemes and water & power infrastructure, including environmental auditing, monitoring and statutory reporting.

We can tailor plans for:

• Threatened species protection (works timing, translocation, exclusion zones);

• Erosion, Sediment, and Water quality controls,

• Dust,

• Noise,

• Waste,

• Light pollution,

• Acid sulphate soils,

• Heritage protection both Aboriginal and Colonial heritage values.

Environmental compliance and monitoring for large scale infrastructure projects are tailored and delivered by the Enviro-dynamics team for pre-development, construction and operational timeframes.

We can help you implement the environmental components of CEMPs or supervise compliance on projects.

Out team understand the legislation and the requirements for your site. Providing you with expert service delivery and management throughout the entire process.

Enviro-dynamics develop strategies to offset impacts to native vegetation and biodiversity, from small projects to major infrastructure.

Services include EPBC offsets calculation, site prioritization, offset extent determination, negotiating Conservation Covenants and Part V Agreements, and the preparation of detailed offset proposals and long term management plans.

We also offer services for implementation of proposed management actions.

We create and deliver tailored weed management plans for individual sites, across tenures, and at the municipality scale. Our plans include clear priorities, practical control timelines, and detailed costings.

At Enviro-dynamics, we plan with implementation in mind, focusing on the most effective way to achieve control outcomes while making costs and timeframes transparent. Our team can also provide coordination and control work on the ground to ensure the best outcome.

Good hygiene and biosecurity are essential to preventing weed and disease issues. We have developed easy-to-follow strategies, protocols, and training packages to help landholders, councils, and industry put these measures into practice.

Bushfire Recovery

Enviro-dynamics has extensive experience in designing practical, evidence-based rehabilitation and restoration plans for a wide variety of sites and landscapes. Our team combines ecological expertise with a strong understanding of on-ground implementation, ensuring every plan is both technically sound and achievable.

We also provide bespoke native plant services, including site-specific species selection, seed collection, and growing services to support best-practices revegetation and restoration projects.

We work closely with clients to set clear objectives, develop realistic timelines and budgets, and include recommendations for project monitoring and evaluation to track progress over time. Whether the aim is to improve native vegetation condition, enhance habitat for threatened species, or stabilise degraded land, we provide a clear pathway from concept to measurable outcomes.
