Alluvium Consulting (Alluvium Consulting Australia Pty Ltd) is part of the Alluvium Group that brings together six organisations who are passionate about working on issues of environment and communities. Our businesses share a collective vision, strategy and a commitment to client service. Our business model is unique and driven by a genuine belief that a focus on technical depth and excellence better serves our clients and the industry.
Alluvium Consulting applies applied science and engineering to issues associated with catchments, rivers and coasts. Our focus is how water interacts with important issues of the environment and communities. Since 2006, we have been supporting our clients in designing policies and strategies, and providing practical solutions in both natural and built environments. We work for policy makers, regulators, implementers and developers in both government and private sectors.
We differentiate ourselves by having deep technical expertise, a commitment to evidence based advice and significant on ground management experience. We have built up a deep history of how Australian catchments and water systems work in practice which adds significant value to our offering. We seek to be influential in the big water and catchment issues of the time in particular the review of the Murray Darling Basin Plan, the management of the Great Barrier reef, and the expansion of urban areas.
We have almost 100 staff who operate out of offices in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane and Townsville, and are looking at growth opportunities in South Australia, N w Zealand and internationally via our Indian and Mekong based operations.
The work we delivery for our clients, and the differences we make for the environment and communities, come down to our purpose: We are driven to create impact.
We believe the pressures of climate change, biodiversity loss, frequent disasters and the impact of these on communities are the key challenges of our time. In many cases these factors are exacerbated by decades or even centuries of historical practices. The responsibility for these issues is complicated. Various levels of government, the private, research and philanthropy sectors, in addition to the community and economy more generally, all have roles. Many of these institutions change rapidly with changes in politics or research funding.
Despite these challenges we are fortunate that we live in a time of great knowledge. Both from a scientific and an on-ground management perspective we have never been in a better position - we now have access to information from across the globe that was unimagined just 10 years ago.
We were founded to bridge the gap between the science, policy and on-ground implementation. We offer informed, creative, practical and useable advice. In doing this we hope to improve the way society deals with the connected and difficult issues of the community and its environment.
