Bio Diverse Solutions

What Bio Diverse Solutions does

Bio Diverse Solutions is a privately held environmental management and bushfire consultancy founded in August 2009 by Kathryn Kinnear in Albany, Western Australia. The firm provides six core professional services to clients within Western Australia: Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessments, environmental planning, water and hydrological analysis, urban and rural residential development support, risk assessment, and protected areas management. Its primary customers are property developers, landowners, and government agencies requiring environmental and bushfire compliance assessments for development approvals across regional and metropolitan WA localities. The firm employs approximately 9 people and operates from three offices in Albany (headquarters), Esperance, and Perth Metro (Jolimont).

The business is structured as a boutique consultancy that deliberately limits concurrent client load to ensure consistent, timely, and focused project delivery. Service execution relies on conventional environmental consultancy tooling — including GIS technology for spatial analysis and mapping, plus specialized field equipment for water, soil, and bushfire assessments — rather than proprietary software or technology platforms. The firm's value proposition emphasizes local knowledge, regional contacts, government agency liaison capability, and lower overhead versus larger national environmental companies, with Director Kathryn Kinnear's 10-year tenure at the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) plus 15 years of consulting experience serving as the central credential.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services consulting engagements, with pricing structured on a quote basis per project. Bio Diverse Solutions is entirely founder-owned and independent, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity. The firm markets itself primarily through organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram) and its company website, and operates within Western Australia only, with no claim of global footprint.
