Our consultants are highly sought after to provide expert testimony in legal court cases, public hearings and planning proceedings.

Our expertise in air quality management, environmental sciences and meteorology underpins our ability to explain complex matters in an easy to understand way so that our clients are able to achieve their goals. 

Recently, Robin Ormerod and Dr Peter D'Abreton of PAEHolmes were chosen by the NSW Department of Planning as two of the very few highly trained and objective experts to conduct independent assessments relating to air quality and greenhouse gas impacts of the Mt Arthur North, Ashton and Anvil Hill coal mines and the Kooragang Island coal loader proposals. PAE was commissioned to review assessments prepared by the proponents, submissions from the public and to hear submissions in a public sitting of a panel of independent experts. The final deliverables were the provision of comprehensive reports and expert evidence for the Minister to make the final decision.
