About Us

Expert Natural Resource Management & Environmental Consulting

At Soil & Water, we provide expert soil and water management advice and environmental consulting services. Our reach extends across Southern New South Wales/ACT and the Upper Murrumbidgee region. Our team brings over 30 years of extensive experience in natural resource management, offering unparalleled knowledge and practical solutions for diverse environmental challenges.

Our professionals have a proven track record in both government and private sectors, holding senior management and consulting roles. This deep understanding allows us to offer comprehensive advice to landholders, businesses, State and Local Governments, and the urban/rural residential development sector.

John Franklin, our Director and Principal Consultant, is a recognised authority in water resource policy. He holds a Master of Applied Science and a Bachelor of Science, and is a member of the Environment Institute Australia New Zealand.

We offer a wide array of specialised services, including:

Expert reports for Council and State Government approvals (e.g., on-site sewage, sub-division applications, gully rehabilitation, controlled activities near watercourses)
Soil and water management advice
Land capability assessments
Erosion and sediment control plans (ESCPs)
Soil conservation, catchment and property management planning

Specifically, if you're building a new house on a rural block, we design on-site sewage management systems to meet Council requirements. For sub-dividing a rural block, we provide environmental reports for developments of all sizes. Need erosion control solutions? We design innovative, cost-effective strategies for agricultural and commercial sites.

We serve individual landholders, sub-division developers, surveyors, commercial business owners, and land development and regulatory agencies. We can also connect you to an expert network of surveyors, engineers, installers/suppliers, and earthworks specialists.

Whether you need land assessments, environmental planning, or expert advice for regulatory compliance, Soil & Water is your trusted partner. We combine decades of experience with a commitment to sustainable outcomes, helping you navigate complex environmental challenges with confidence.
