Low Ecological Services is a Northern Territory business based in Alice Springs. Directed by Bill Low, who has worked in environmental management and research in Central Australia for more than 39 years, Low Ecological Services is the longest running environmental survey business in the NT. We have extensive experience supporting NT businesses and government to monitor and manage environmental matters. Our team has a detailed working knowledge of Central Australian flora, fauna, landscape, soils, geology and environmental remediation. We also have a strong record of collaboration with local Aboriginal people and Aboriginal organisations, which provides deep experience in incorporating the knowledge and guidance of Traditional Owners into our projects. Our high level of expertise in Central Australian environments and strong understanding of Federal and Territory environmental legislation supports the preparation of Notices of Intent and material for environmental approvals, management plans and audits. We specialise in servicing the southern NT while also working in the Top End and nearby regions of adjacent States.
We formed our consultancy partnership in 1980 and our company in 1994. Since then, we have completed more than 500 major environmental monitoring projects for government, NGOs and private and public companies. These projects include long term monitoring programs, natural resource appraisals, Environmental Impact Assessments, rehabilitation and pollution assessment and monitoring, environmental audits, development of environmental management plans and liaison with government departments and Aboriginal organisations on behalf of clients. With a long history of working with mining and petroleum companies, we understand industry needs and the balance required across conservation, economics and legislative expectations.
