What MNG does

MNG (McMullen Nolan Group Pty Ltd) is an Australian land surveying and spatial solutions provider founded in 1989, headquartered in Jandakot, Perth, with offices in Melbourne, Broome, and Bunbury. The company delivers a comprehensive portfolio across two lines: (1) professional surveying services covering land and property surveying, mobile and aerial laser scanning (LiDAR), engineering surveying, hydrographic surveying, utility locating and mapping, geophysics, GIS, BIM, and cartographics; and (2) digital SaaS products including MNG Access (central spatial data platform), Pozi (enterprise GIS), and Metrix Assets (enterprise asset management). Proprietary technology assets include in-house developed mobile laser scanning systems ('The Rabbit' and 'Cirrus'), the HALO indoor SLAM-based mapping system, and a multi-pass point cloud methodology, operated alongside third-party platforms such as the Riegl VMX-2HA and Leica scanners.

MNG serves enterprise and government clients across six primary verticals: Land Development (primary), Infrastructure & Transport, Resource Sector, Environmental, Utilities Sector, and Government. Named clients include Stockland, Satterley Property Group, Peet, Main Roads Western Australia, Department of Transport, Arc Infrastructure, and Edith Cowan University. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements, with growing recurring revenue from annual subscription SaaS licensing for MNG Access, Pozi, and Metrix Assets. The company pursues a sales-led, direct enterprise go-to-market via dedicated project management teams across Australia, complemented by digital self-service through the MNG Access platform. In July 2024 MNG acquired LandPartners, materially expanding its national footprint and integrated surveying capability.

Regional players

• Tonkin + Taylor: New Zealand-based environmental and engineering consultancy offering surveying, geospatial, and subsurface services. Similar service mix to MNG across infrastructure, environment, and land development, though primarily serving the NZ market.

Broad incumbents

• WSP Australia: Global professional services firm with significant Australian surveying and spatial capabilities. Competes with MNG on multi-disciplinary infrastructure and government tenders where surveying is bundled with broader engineering services.
• Aurecon: Australian-headquartered engineering and infrastructure advisory with surveying and geospatial capabilities. Competes on infrastructure and government projects, often as the prime consultant bundling MNG's specialist services.
• Jacobs Engineering: Global engineering services firm with surveying, geospatial, and asset management capabilities serving government and infrastructure clients. Comparable in infrastructure and utility surveying tenders across Australia.

Direct peers

• Woolpert: US-headquartered geospatial, surveying, and engineering firm with global operations offering aerial LiDAR, mobile mapping, and GIS services. Comparable in technology stack and service breadth across surveying and digital spatial solutions.
• Veris Australia: Australian surveying, spatial, and planning consultancy offering cadastral, engineering, and 3D laser scanning services nationally. Direct competitor with overlapping service lines across land development, infrastructure, and resources sectors.
• Fugro: Global geo-data specialist providing site characterization, hydrographic surveying, and asset integrity services. Overlaps with MNG on hydrographic surveying, geophysical investigations, and underground utility locating.

Emerging players

• Nearmap: Australian aerial imagery and location intelligence platform providing high-resolution aerial photos, LiDAR, and AI-derived insights. Both partner (MNG resells Nearmap data) and compete where aerial surveying and digital spatial platforms overlap.
• Cyient: Global engineering and geospatial services company providing surveying, LiDAR processing, and digital twin capabilities. Comparable in aerial and mobile mapping data processing and digital spatial solutions.
• Pozi (Pozi Pty Ltd): Australian-built enterprise GIS platform that MNG now resells and integrates. Comparable as a digital spatial platform competitor in the Australian market, particularly for government and utility clients seeking lightweight GIS viewers.
