Michael Taylforth

I am the principal of Land Insights and have spent 26 years working on planning and environmental approvals for complex projects in Western Australia. I am dual-qualified as an environmental scientist and urban planner, and work with proponents, project teams and local governments to map approval pathways, identify likely risks, and prepare applications that hold up to statutory scrutiny.

My work typically begins before lodgement. Engaging early on the approval pathway, before the statutory process starts, is where the most useful advice is given and where the most costly mistakes are avoided.

I work across renewable energy, extractive industry, coastal management, and major infrastructure. I also use GIS, spatial analysis and drone technology to support planning applications and site feasibility studies.
