What EMM does

EMM Consulting Pty Limited is an Australian-headquartered environmental advisory and consulting firm founded in 2010 in Australia, delivering environmental planning, approvals, impact assessment, and specialist technical services to enterprise and government clients across the mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors. Following a strategic partnership with New Zealand's Mitchell Daysh Limited effective 28 April 2026, the combined entity operates as an international team of approximately 360 professionals across 18 offices in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada under the 'EMM Global' umbrella, with EMM Consulting Pty Limited as the Australian parent. The firm serves primary verticals including mining, energy, infrastructure, water, waste and resource recovery, and transport, with disclosed client engagements spanning NSW Government (Redfern Station Upgrade), WestConnex (M4-M8 Link Tunnels noise assessment), City of Parramatta Council (Epping Aquatic Centre, $26.88M project value), Licella (Project Swift biorefinery approvals), Novo Rail Alliance, and Buildcorp/McCall Gardens Community Foundation.

EMM generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services engagements priced via quote-based tenders, with an enterprise field sales model relying on direct client relationships, thought leadership content, industry conferences (e.g., Ontario Critical Minerals Forum), LinkedIn presence, and referral networks. Its service portfolio spans 20+ technical areas including environmental planning and approvals (with 70+ specialists), heritage assessment, acoustics, air quality, ecology, groundwater, surface water, spatial solutions, sustainability, and Indigenous cultural heritage. Proprietary technical differentiators include the NoiseCheck™ noise and vibration prediction tool (enabling vertical prediction up high-rise facades), an in-house drone team using Mavic 3T thermal drones, LiDAR, multispectral sensors, and RTK modules for mm-level spatial accuracy, and an integrated GIS spatial solutions practice. The firm also holds sub-brands for Drone Services and Spatial Solutions, and operates acquired brand Minesoils for soil, agriculture, and rehabilitation consulting.

In 2026, EMM received minority investment from Quadrant Private Equity's Strategic Equity Fund to support continued expansion, acquired Minesoils to extend its NSW footprint into Tamworth, and appointed Joel Bettley as CFO (effective February 2026) and Jessica Butts as Managing Director – Canada. The firm is privately held, domiciled in Australia (legal name: EMM Consulting Pty Limited), and does not publicly disclose revenue, pricing, or transaction values. Customers are predominantly government agencies and large enterprises on multi-year major-project mandates, making engagement size substantial but project-pipeline dependent.
