Expert heritage surveys and assessments across Australia

Heritage surveys. Environmental assessments. Planning approvals. One firm.

Most projects need a heritage consultant, an environmental consultant and a town planner. Trace Enterprises is all three.

We are a Western Australian owned consulting firm delivering heritage, environmental and town planning services across WA, the Northern Territory and beyond. Our multidisciplinary team of archaeologists, anthropologists, botanists, zoologists, ecologists and town planners works under one roof — so your project is assessed, managed and approved without the cost and complexity of coordinating multiple firms.

We work with two distinct groups of clients, and we're proud to serve both equally. For Aboriginal Corporations, we provide independent heritage expertise that protects country, manages cultural heritage, and ensures the right outcomes for Traditional Custodians. For developers, miners, explorers, infrastructure builders and government agencies, we deliver the heritage surveys, environmental impact assessments, flora and fauna surveys, development applications, subdivision approvals and planning approvals needed to move projects forward with confidence.

Our services span the full project lifecycle — from initial desktop assessments and field surveys through to environmental management plans, heritage management plans, development applications and formal planning approvals. Whether your project is a residential subdivision in the Perth metropolitan area, a mining exploration programme in the Pilbara, an infrastructure corridor through the Kimberley, or a major development in the Northern Territory, Trace has the expertise and the track record to deliver.

We are a WALGA preferred supplier, trusted by local government, major industry and Aboriginal Corporations across Australia. Our team brings decades of combined experience across Aboriginal archaeology, historic heritage, anthropology, botany, zoology, ecology and town planning — giving our clients a single point of accountability for complex, multidisciplinary projects.

Every project is delivered on time and on budget. That's not a promise — it's our record.
