Resource industries

Resource industries

We believe our shared future is our shared responsibility.

That’s why at Boobook Ecological Consulting, we work with resource industry partners committed to building a better tomorrow.

As a sector which plays a vital role in the management of natural assets for humanity, the resource industry relies on expert ecological advice during planning and operational stages to ensure it meets and exceeds its environmental responsibilities and contributes positively to our communities. 

We collaborate and advise oil and gas, mining and renewables companies on environmental constraints and opportunities, helping them to ensure that they can minimise their impacts, maintain their licence to operate, meet regulatory requirements and retain support from communities.
