What Altogether Group does

Altogether Group is an Australian multi-utility service provider that designs, owns, and operates embedded infrastructure delivering energy, water, and data services to residential communities across New South Wales and Queensland. The company was founded by Terry Leckie in 2007, consolidated two predecessor entities (Flow Systems and Meters to Cash Solutions) under the Altogether brand in 2020, and is owned by Morrison & Co's Sustainable Communities Infrastructure Trust on behalf of Australian and New Zealand sovereign wealth fund clients. Its core product lines are embedded energy networks (with solar, battery storage, EV charging, centralised hot water, demand management, and Virtual Energy Networks), water solutions (drinking water, recycled water, wastewater treatment using Membrane Bioreactor technology, and stormwater management), and data solutions (fibre-optic internet and secure storage), unified through a single multi-utility platform with consolidated billing.

The company's underlying technology relies on locally embedded networks that connect to regional grids via a two-way gate meter, enabling bulk energy procurement, local generation and storage, and inter-site energy sharing. Water systems include the Central Park Water Centre in Sydney, described as the largest underground Membrane Bioreactor facility in the world, which captures, treats, and recycles wastewater to reduce drinking water demand by up to 70% in new neighbourhoods and approximately 50% in apartment buildings. Smart metering and telemetry provide remote reading and monitoring. Notable deployments include Brisbane Skytower, Q1, Southport Central, Central Park, Huntlee, Box Hill (Gables), The Orchards, Seachange Toowoomba, Pitt Town, and Cooranbong. Altogether is licensed under the Water Industry Competition Act 2006 (NSW), holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, and achieved a GRESB score of 85/100 in 2023.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: recurring subscription and usage charges for embedded energy and water services (with residents retaining retailer choice for energy but paying network access), one-time fees for building approvals, pre-connection inspections, water meters, and on-lot infrastructure kits (e.g., AUD 6,648 per lot in Cooranbong, Box Hill North, and Pitt Town), and hardware sales via an e-commerce shop. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales targeting strata committees, strata managers, developers, landowners, and build-to-rent operators from early planning stages, supplemented by digital marketing and partner referrals. With 110+ employees, 500+ communities served, and a stated trajectory toward 100,000 customers by 2024, Altogether operates as a scaled, infrastructure-backed multi-utility platform in the Australian residential market.

Regional players

• Unitywater: Queensland state-owned water utility serving the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay regions. Comparable on drinking water, recycled water, and wastewater services to communities in Altogether's QLD footprint, but operates as a regulated monopoly rather than an embedded utility.
• Yarra Valley Water: Victorian water utility operating drinking water, recycled water, and wastewater services for Melbourne's northern growth corridors. Comparable water utility service mix to Altogether, but in a different state with regulated monopoly economics rather than embedded operations.

Others

• Lendlease: Master-planned community and build-to-rent developer operating large residential projects across Australia. A natural customer and ecosystem partner for Altogether's multi-utility embedded-network offerings at greenfield sites.
• Mirvac: Australian property developer with build-to-rent and master-planned community pipelines. Comparable buyer profile and a potential strategic channel for embedded network, water recycling, and EV charging deployments.
• Stockland: Major Australian residential developer with extensive master-planned communities in NSW and QLD. Comparable customer profile to Altogether's developer segment and a likely source of new community contracts.
• Frasers Property Australia: Australian residential and mixed-use developer with master-planned community projects. Directly relevant as a developer counterpart for Altogether's multi-utility sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• AGL Energy: One of Australia's largest energy retailers and generators with an established embedded networks and multi-utility services arm. Overlaps with Altogether's energy offerings (embedded networks, solar, battery, EV) and competes for strata and developer customers nationally.
• Origin Energy: Major Australian energy retailer with embedded network and solar/battery offerings across residential strata and new developments. Comparable on the energy-network-access revenue stream and developer-channel sales motion.
• Sydney Water: State-owned water utility serving Greater Sydney, NSW. Overlaps with Altogether's licensed water operations in NSW and competes/coordinates on drinking water supply, recycled water, and wastewater services across overlapping geographies.

Direct peers

• WIN Connect: Australian embedded energy network operator serving apartments, retirement villages, and mixed-use precincts. Most directly comparable peer in embedded network design, customer model (body corporates), and strata-channel GTM.
