MWA is often heavily involved in the conceptual design stage of development to provide information about what type of environmental constraints may occur. This arms our clients with a greater knowledge of the project being undertaken. In turn, this knowledge enables our clients to access cost efficient options and evaluate long term directions to use these constraints to their advantage or minimise their impact.

MWA’s input then provides a basis for the subsequent detailed analysis and reporting necessary to take the development through to the approvals process.
