Permitting, Approvals and Compliance

We specialise in navigating complex regulatory environments to secure the permits, approvals, and stakeholder support your project needs, from exploration through to operation. With deep experience across mining, energy, ports, and infrastructure, we deliver end-to-end permitting solutions that keep your project compliant, on track, and moving forward. Our team brings proven expertise in regulatory strategy, environmental approvals, and stakeholder engagement,  reducing project delays and ensuring full compliance from day one.   

In Papua New Guinea’s dynamic regulatory landscape, we provide the local knowledge and strategic guidance needed to secure government approvals, navigate customary land issues, and maintain your social license to operate. We understand the complexities of working in PNG, from environmental permitting and landowner negotiations to cross-agency coordination, and have assisted in delivering approvals for some of the country’s most challenging and remote projects.

Our services encompass the full permitting cycle and include:

  • Approval identification and mapping
  • Stakeholder mapping and engagement strategy
  • Liaison with government bodies
  • Negotiating and managing project approval conditions
  • Development approvals
  • Environmental Licences
  • Post approval compliance and monitoring
  • Environmental audits
  • State and Commonwealth approvals
  • Navigating public consulation and environmental board approvals
  • Alignment with IFC Performance Standards, World Bank Environment & Sustainability Framework and ESG Framework compliance
