Mimram is the private consulting practice of Alan Sann and was established in 2004. The firm specialises in three niche segments of environmental planning and development:
- due diligence of environmental business operations and transactions;
- audit of environmental and social performance of major infrastructure projects; and
- planning for sustainability for large-scale, controversial, infrastructure projects
Mimram generally works for project financiers, investors and owner-operators of commercial ventures and projects in which there are embedded complex technical, environmental, social and regulatory issues. The four most recent engagements illustrate the type of work Mimram undertakes.
- In late 2004 Mimram was appointed by the ConnectEast Group, Melbourne, as its consulting Environmental Management Representative reporting to the Chief Executive until mid-2010. This part-time position fulfils requirements under the State Deed for the recently-completed $3.2 billion EastLink, a PPP-funded tollway linking Mitcham to Frankston east of Melbourne.
- In 2006 Mimram was engaged by the Managing Director of Babcock & Brown Capital to examine the risks and opportunities associated with a number of investments.
- Mimram is currently assisting a group of private Melbourne-based investors with research into various environmental technologies and businesses.
