Secondary Approvals Offshore

Securing the right approvals is fundamental to the success of any offshore activity. With complex regulatory frameworks and high community expectations, a clear and well-managed approvals pathway is essential to avoid costly delays and reputational risks.

EHS Support delivers high quality offshore approvals and regulatory authorisation services. We support projects through all stages of the activity lifecycle, from early planning and feasibility, through to execution and compliance.

Our experienced approvals specialists help clients navigate the approval processes across Australia’s unique environmental and regulatory landscape, tailoring approval strategies to meet jurisdiction specific legislative and regulatory requirements.

Industries We Support

  • Traditional oil and gas developments, including exploration, appraisal, development, production, and decommissioning activities, with a focus on meeting complex environmental assessment, consultation, and risk management obligations
  • Greenhouse gas storage activities

Our Approach

Through early risk identification and regulatory scoping, EHS Support helps clients understand approval pathways, key risks and regulator sensitivities for different petroleum activities. We communicate these risks early to support informed decision-making, efficient delivery and reduce the likelihood of program delays, compliance issues or regulatory intervention. Our strength lies in delivering fit-for-purpose approvals strategies that meet regulatory expectations while supporting project timeframes. We also provide ongoing compliance support to ensure projects remain aligned with evolving obligations, giving our clients confidence to move forward at every stage of development.
