Nicholas has worked as an environmental planning consultant since 1992, specialising in natural resource management. A wide range of assignments covering diverse natural and modified environments, has enabled Nick to develop a broad knowledge base in the area of environmental management and environmental impact assessment.
His work demands an in-depth knowledge of current planning and environmental legislation coupled with a comprehensive understanding of development-related impacts, especially those relating to the provision of recreational facilities. Nicholas has acquired his knowledge in this field over the last 17 years, during which he has worked with a number of land management organisations within and outside Australia.
Much of the work undertaken has been within western slopes and higher altitude environments of NSW, being contracted by organisations such as Telstra, RTA, Snowy Hydro, Country Energy, Kosciuszko Thredbo Pty Ltd, National Parks/DECC, a number of councils (eg. Snowy River, Bega, Eurobodalla, Shoalhaven and Bombala Shire Councils), and a number of other clients. Work undertaken includes the preparation of varied and complex environmental planning, environmental impact assessments, natural resource surveys (flora and fauna surveys and assessments) and the preparation of environmental management plans.
