Environmental Consulting

We prepare and submit Environmental Impact Statements for a diverse range of industries including:

• Intensive Agriculture (feedlots, dairies, piggeries, poultry, aquaculture)
• Composting Facilities
• Abattoirs and Rendering Facilities
• Extractive Industries (quarries and mines)
• Cement and Concrete Manufacturing
• Breweries
• Landfills and Waste Transfer Stations
• Wastewater Treatment Plants
• Chemical Storage Facilities
• Timber Mills  

We provide this service in conjunction with our Town Planning team.

Our team has dedicated Certified Professionals in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) and Registered Soil Practitioners (RSP) to deliver high quality erosion and sediment control plans for developments.

We have substantial experience in developing erosion and sediment control plans for large construction projects, intensive horticulture, and small construction projects.

We produce exceptional erosion and sediment control plans in conjunction with the skilled services of our Civil Design team and GIS team.

We prepare practical, site-specific Land Rehabilitation Plans for clients across the mining, quarry, infrastructure, renewable energy, government, agriculture and land development sectors. Our environmental scientists develop achievable strategies that restore disturbed land, meet regulatory requirements and support long-term environmental outcomes. 

By balancing ecological, operational and legislative considerations, we help our clients reduce project risks, streamline approvals, demonstrate environmental stewardship and achieve successful outcomes. 

Meeting your Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS) obligations shouldn’t slow down your project. We provide comprehensive ASS Management Plans tailored to your site, ensuring full regulatory compliance while mitigating environmental risks.

By identifying disturbances early, we prevent costly construction delays, protect local waterways, and safeguard your infrastructure from structural damage caused by acidic runoff. Partnering with us streamlines the approvals process, giving you peace of mind and a clear, actionable path forward for a successful, sustainable development.

Preliminary Contaminated Land Assessments identify potential environmental liabilities before you buy, develop, or change land use. Our team conducts thorough historical desktop research, site inspections, and soil sampling to evaluate past land activities. You will typically need this assessment during the DA process, property rezonings, or pre-purchase due diligence to ensure compliance and a safe, clean site for the future. 

We design tailored Onsite Wastewater Management Plans to ensure your property handles sewage safely and sustainably. Our comprehensive service involves assessing your site’s soil profile, topography, and local environment to determine the most effective treatment system for your project. Councils typically require these plans for new developments, subdivisions, or renovations in unsewered areas. Let us handle the science and regulatory compliance so your project can move forward smoothly.

We offer specialised Land Function Analysis (LFA) to help you monitor and manage landscape health. Our assessment involves measuring key soil surface indicators to evaluate three critical ecosystem processes: stability, water infiltration, and nutrient cycling.

This service is typically required when you need to:

• Document mine rehabilitation progress toward successful closure.
• Assess land degradation or ecosystem recovery following disturbances.
• Meet environmental regulatory compliance targets.

We provide the quantifiable data needed to show your land is returning to a functional, self-sustaining state.

We provide precise, reliable soil sampling services to uncover exactly what’s happening beneath the surface. Our team manages everything from strategic on-site core collection to advanced laboratory analysis, mapping out contaminants, nutrient profiles, or soil stability.

You’ll typically need this during pre-purchase property due diligence, before launching new construction, or when meeting strict environmental compliance and remediation standards.

If your project operates under a mining lease, major development consent, or industrial license, an AEMR is usually an annual requirement. We make sure it’s accurate, straightforward, and submitted on time. We take the stress out of your AEMR by managing the process for you. Our team reviews your year’s environmental data, monitoring everything from water quality to waste, to demonstrate you’re meeting your regulatory conditions.

Water quality monitoring gives you reliable data to assess the health of rivers, creeks, lakes, wetlands, groundwater and coastal waters. We design and deliver monitoring programs tailored to project requirements, including sampling, field measurements, laboratory analysis and reporting. You may need water quality monitoring to support development approvals, meet environmental compliance obligations, assess potential impacts, investigate pollution events or establish baseline conditions before works commence. Our clear, accurate data helps inform confident decision-making for your project.

Our agricultural soil health assessments help clients understand soil condition, productivity and long-term sustainability. It involves sampling and analysing key soil properties such as nutrients, organic matter, salinity, pH and structure, followed by clear interpretation and management recommendations. This assessment is often needed before new cropping or grazing systems, when yields are declining, following land disturbance, or to support sustainable land management and compliance requirements. We help ensure informed, practical decisions for improved soil performance.
