Country, compliance & community safety
Identify environmental, regulatory and community safety constraints before they become project problems.
Country & Code Consulting works with government agencies, local businesses and community stakeholders across Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Western Australia. Drawing on government-sector experience and a strong understanding of remote operating environments, we provide practical support across environmental approvals, land management, emergency planning and field operations.
Practical advice for country, compliance and community safety
Our work is grounded in the practical realities of remote island operations, including complex logistics, limited local resources, sensitive environments, cultural and community considerations, bushfire risk, access constraints and regulatory requirements.
Backed by postgraduate qualifications in Environmental Management from the University of Queensland, further postgraduate study in Emergency and Disaster Management through Queensland University of Technology and a Diploma of Government Investigations (PSP50416), we bring practical government, regulatory and EPBC Act experience to site identification, environmental approvals, project planning and field delivery.
Practical support across country, compliance and community safety
We help identify constraints early, reduce uncertainty and support informed project decisions.
Our multidisciplinary approach brings together environmental approvals, land management, emergency planning and mock exercise support, field operations and community safety, with practical advice tailored to the realities of remote island environments.
Start with an initial project discussion to clarify your site, key risks, approval requirements and practical next steps.
Land, Environment and EPBC Act Support
Identify environmental risks, constraints and approval pathways early. We support EPBC Act referrals and approvals, policy interpretation, environmental management plans, land-management planning and coordination with ecological specialists.
Site Identification, Bushfire and Development
Assess site suitability for facilities, infrastructure and community projects, including heritage, access, servicing, vegetation and bushfire constraints. We provide practical guidance on safe access, evacuation and development in bushfire-prone areas.
Emergency and Disaster Management
Develop emergency plans, evacuation procedures, risk assessments and business continuity arrangements for staff, visitors, contractors, communities and critical facilities. We also deliver exercises, evacuation drills, inter-agency coordination and post-incident improvement reviews.
Field Operations, Assets and Interpretation
Support reliable delivery in the field through trail inspections, maintenance planning, asset condition reporting and photographic registers. We also assist with procurement, WHS, contractors, stakeholder engagement, visitor information and educational materials.
Why Country & Code?
Country & Code connects environmental, regulatory and community safety advice for government agencies, Parks Australia and island-based businesses.
