Our perspective

Eligibility and obligations under a special regime

We assess whether the activity, location and planned operations fit the regime being considered. The comparison covers entry and ongoing requirements, obligations and costs alongside potential incentives.

We coordinate evidence, licences and commitments to build an application consistent with the proposed operation.
