THE FIRM |
Ison Environmental Planners is an environmental and agricultural consultancy providing
advice to a wide variety of clients. The firm was established in 1980 as Ray Ison &
Associates but in 1988 changed its name to reflect the increasing size and diversity
of its operations and projects undertaken since its conception.
Ray Ison, the film's principal, has formal qualifications in the agricultural sciences
and since 1971 has had a wide range of research and consultancy experience in resource
development and construction projects, principally in Queensland. This has provided him
with an extensive knowledge of the Queensland and federal government requirements and
procedures for project approval.
The practice operates by selecting and coordinating a team of specialists to fit the
project rather than fitting the project to existing staff. The emphasis is to select
members with formal qualifications but also practical skills and acknowledged expertise
and experience in their field. This technique allows the appointment of a team with the
best available skills without excessive overheads. The firm is able to undertake small
commissions as well as major projects either as primary consultant or working in a multi
disciplinary project team.
Reports are prepared to meet the needs of the client, being technically correct, easily
understood and satisfying the requirements of the relevant government agencies.
