Animal Plant Mineral

Animal Plant Mineral Pty Ltd comprises a group of expert environmental practitioners providing advice and assistance to proponents in the resource and land development industries.

APM operates as a consortium of employees and contractors , alike, managed and directed by APM’s owner and Principal Biologist, Dr Mitch Ladyman. The structure of APM is very unique, enabling us to build a team of experts tailored to suit your requirements for environmental impact assessment and Life of Mine environmental management, in any part of the State at any time.

Our vision is to develop long-term relationships with a small number of key clients. We seek to develop a close relationship with your company, providing assistance when you need it.

Though we are based in the Swan Valley, W.A., we are a highly mobile group. Our biologists are extremely well accustomed to working in remote areas under highly evolved environmental health and safety management plans, and our environmental scientists are readily able to undertake site work if required.
