Delivering the insight and support you need to plan resilient, sustainable communities

Local governments face growing pressures from climate change, urbanisation, and the need to protect communities against flooding and infrastructure risks. We bring deep engineering, environmental, and advisory expertise to help councils plan, adapt, and respond effectively.

Through advanced modelling tools like TUFLOW, catchment assessments, and flood forecasting, we deliver actionable insights for water demand management, surface-water resilience, and climate risk mitigation. By combining science, technology, and policy support, we enable local governments to strengthen infrastructure, safeguard communities, and build more sustainable, resilient urban environments for the future.

Building resilient futures for local communities

Escalating water demand and leakage

Urbanisation and lifestyle changes drive water demand while ageing infrastructure increases leakage. We support water-stewardship planning, sustainable supply strategies, and provide data-driven hydraulic modelling to optimise water use.

Flash flooding and climate risk

Climate change fuels flash floods, droughts, and rising sea levels. We deliver flood forecasting, detailed TUFLOW hydraulic modelling, and floodplain planning to help communities prepare and respond.

Managing flood and surface water risks

Surface water accumulation and drainage issues raise flooding threats. We offer surface water pathway modelling, economic-risk assessments, and mitigation strategy development for flood resilience.

Climate resilient urban planning

Local governments must adapt infrastructure amid evolving climate scenarios. We inform policy and planning with climate-responsive modelling, future scenario assessments, and adaptive resilience strategies.
