Jones Environmental Consulting Pty Ltd

What Jones Environmental Consulting Pty Ltd does

Jones Environmental Consulting Pty Ltd is a privately held specialist environmental consultancy headquartered in Albury Wodonga on the NSW-Victoria border, delivering contaminated land assessment, groundwater and landfill monitoring, Land Capability Assessments for on-site wastewater, waste classification and environmental drilling across southern New South Wales and north east Victoria. The firm's core offerings span the contaminated land lifecycle — Preliminary Site Investigations (desktop and non-intrusive), Detailed Site Investigations (intrusive soil and groundwater sampling, NATA laboratory analysis and risk assessment against NEPM criteria), remediation planning and validation — together with groundwater monitoring bore network design, installation and sampling, Land Capability Assessments for unsewered rural subdivisions, waste classification of excavated materials under NSW and Victorian frameworks, and dedicated in-house environmental drilling rigs that keep field work and assessment within a single team.

The practice is led by Patricia Jones (Principal Environmental Scientist and Director, two decades of regional experience) and Russell Jones (Senior Environmental Scientist and Field Operations Manager, 15 years of regional experience), both of whom are embedded directly in project delivery rather than purely oversight. Service delivery is organised around senior-led project teams using in-house drilling capability, NATA-accredited laboratory partners for analysis, and structured technical reporting aligned with NSW and Victorian regulatory frameworks including the NSW Local Government Act, Victorian Environment Protection Act, ASC NEPM, AS/NZS 1547:2012, and council-specific planning requirements.

The firm operates a sales-led go-to-market targeting local and regional councils, government agencies, property and land developers, engineering and planning consultants, rural landholders and building and construction firms. Revenue is generated on a fixed-fee project-quote basis with pricing driven by lot size, number of soil test locations, site complexity, council requirements and travel; client engagement originates through council and industry referrals, the firm's educational Learning Centre content platform, website enquiry forms, and direct phone or email contact. The firm is owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investment, parent entity, M&A activity, or non-founder leadership changes.
