Environmental Group Australia

What Environmental Group Australia does

Environmental Group Australia (EGA) Pty Ltd is an Australian environmental consultancy founded in 2020 (formerly SEG — Sydney Environmental Group), operating from offices in Sydney (Marrickville), Melbourne (Collingwood), and Brisbane (Fortitude Valley). The firm delivers a full lifecycle of contaminated land management services — from Phase 1 Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI) through Phase 2 Detailed Site Investigations (DSI), remediation strategy development, site validation, and due diligence assessments — alongside adjacent occupational hygiene (asbestos management, hazardous materials surveys, air quality monitoring), geotechnical, sustainability (ESG strategy and carbon management), and emergency response services. Underlying technical capability rests on NATA-accredited laboratory partnerships across all Australian states and territories, EPA-endorsed waste characterisation strategies, and Licensed Asbestos Assessor credentials.

The business operates on a quote-based, fee-for-service consulting model. Pricing is project-specific with quotes valid for 30 days and works required to commence within 3 months of acceptance; reimbursable expenses (laboratory fees, specialist consultant costs) are charged at cost plus 20%. Progress claims are issued monthly with payment due within 30 days and 7% per annum interest on overdue accounts. Distribution is direct — consultant-led sales conversations, website enquiries, referrals, and reputation-driven project wins — with no paid acquisition channels disclosed. The company is privately held and founder-led by Managing Director Steve Wallace (15+ years' experience spanning North America and Australia) alongside Head of Strategy & Operations Filda Keci, with 21 employees in total.

EGA serves property developers and redevelopers, major infrastructure and construction contractors, local councils and government agencies, institutional investors, and industrial/manufacturing facilities. Named enterprise customers include John Holland, CPB Contractors, Georgiou, Mirvac, Landcom, GPT, and Blackstone, with major government engagements spanning the 2022 Northern Rivers and Northern Victoria flood response programmes (5000+ and 1000+ property inspections respectively). The firm reports 500+ clients served, 3000+ projects completed, 1000+ hectares remediated and validated, and a 99% repeat client rate. EGA has been certified Carbon Neutral through Climate Active since inception.

Core offering

Environmental Group Australia (EGA) is an Australian environmental consultancy delivering end-to-end contaminated land management, occupational hygiene, waste classification, geotechnical, sustainability, and emergency response services. The firm combines site investigation, remediation strategy, site validation, hazardous materials surveys, and due diligence assessments across property development, infrastructure, government, and industrial projects. Services are delivered by qualified environmental scientists, occupational hygienists, and licensed asbestos assessors supported by NATA-accredited laboratory partnerships across all Australian states and territories.

Product overview

Environmental Group Australia (EGA) is an environmental consultancy offering an integrated suite of services rather than a unified software product. The core portfolio comprises Environmental Assessment Services (Phase 1 Preliminary Site Investigations and Phase 2 Detailed Site Investigations, remediation strategy, site validation, and due diligence), supported by Waste Classification & Management, Occupational Hygiene Services (including Asbestos Testing and Hazardous Materials Surveys), Sustainability Services (ESG strategy, carbon management, climate risk), Emergency Response, and Geotechnical Services. These services function as interconnected consulting offerings—environmental assessments inform remediation strategies, which feed into site validation and waste management; occupational hygiene services complement environmental assessments; and geotechnical services extend capabilities for development projects. The company serves property developers, infrastructure projects, local councils, industrial facilities, and government agencies across Australia from offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
