Professional Accreditations Strengthening Planit’s Planning, Engineering, Environmental and Project Management Expertise

At Planit, all services are delivered by qualified professionals across planning, engineering, environmental assessment and project management as standard. Alongside these core professional qualifications, Planit has practitioners who hold the specialist accreditations outlined below.

At a company level, Planit is certified to internationally recognised ISO management system standards for Quality, Environmental Management and Work Health and Safety. This independent certification confirms that our processes and systems meet globally accepted benchmarks, ensuring quality, environmental responsibility and workplace safety are embedded in how we work.

These combined individual and organisational accreditations ensure our work meets rigorous statutory requirements and industry best practice, giving clients confidence that every assessment, design and project is delivered with technical integrity and verified capability.

Our accreditations enable Planit to independently certify, peer-review and manage complex projects across NSW, QLD and regional Australia. Below is an overview of some of the key accreditations within our organisation that strengthen our multidisciplinary service offering.

Environmental Assessment Capability – Registered Planner Plus (EIA) & REAP Accreditation

Planit has planning practitioners who hold the Registered Planner Plus (EIA) accreditation, recognised under the NSW Registered Environmental Assessment Practitioner (REAP) Scheme. Where REAP-aligned accreditation is required, these accredited practitioners can prepare and independently peer-review environmental assessments for major projects.

This REAP-aligned capability enhances Planit’s delivery of:

  • Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)
  • Review of Environmental Factors (REF)
  • Major project assessment under NSW legislation
  • Strategic and statutory planning pathways
  • Quality assurance and peer review of environmental documentation

Planit’s planning team brings experience across regional, precinct and site-specific projects, major strategic reforms and complex infrastructure planning, ensuring Planit provides compliant, approval-ready environmental and planning assessments.

Engineering Assurance – NER Registered Engineers and RPEQ Accredited Civil Engineers

Planit’s engineering team includes engineers registered on Engineers Australia’s National Engineering Register (NER), along with Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland (RPEQ), ensuring our engineering services meet nationally recognised professional standards and Queensland’s statutory requirements for certification, design compliance and quality assurance.

NER and RPEQ accreditation strengthens our engineering capability in:

  • Civil design certification
  • Stormwater, flooding and hydraulic assessments
  • Technical due diligence for major infrastructure
  • Interdisciplinary design coordination

These accreditations ensure that Planit’s engineering work is technically robust, independently verifiable and compliant across NSW and QLD, supporting delivery for both government and private sector projects.

Ecology Expertise – BAM-Accredited Assessor (Biodiversity Assessment Method)

This capability supports:

  • Biodiversity Development Assessment Reports (BDARs)
  • Ecological impact assessments for major projects
  • Biodiversity offset calculations and stewardship
  • Peer review of ecological and biodiversity documentation

Having a BAM-accredited assessor in-house allows Planit to manage ecological constraints proactively and integrate biodiversity considerations seamlessly into project approvals.

Project Delivery Strength – AIPM-Aligned Project Management Capability

AIPM-aligned capability supports:

  • Formal project governance and reporting

  • Coordination across planning, engineering and environmental teams
  • Delivery efficiency for infrastructure and development projects

This professional framework ensures our projects are well-managed, outcomes-driven and delivered to high standards of accountability.
