Environmental Services & Contaminated Land Management

Waratah Consulting provides specialist environmental services that make complex regulations manageable and reduce risk throughout the project lifecycle. Our consultants deliver clear, actionable assessments and remediation solutions that support approvals, safeguard the environment, and help keep developments moving.

We support both pre-construction and operational phases with practical compliance tools — including audits, monitoring, and environmental planning documentation. From early Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to full Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), we help clients meet NSW’s planning and EPA requirements with confidence.

We work with developers, builders, councils, and consultants to navigate environmental frameworks effectively — delivering reporting that aligns with regulatory expectations and unlocks project momentum.
