What TERRALIS does

Terralis is a privately-held Australian environmental consulting firm headquartered in Newtown, Geelong, Victoria, delivering contaminated land assessment, site remediation, risk assessment, and EPA Victoria regulatory compliance services to residential, commercial, industrial, and government clients across Melbourne, Geelong, and regional Victoria. Founded by Michael Condon, a Certified Environmental Practitioner with 15+ years of industry experience, the firm operates as a senior-led boutique practice with a core team of four personnel combining expertise in environmental engineering, environmental science, geo-environmental engineering, and project administration. Service offerings span Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments, soil and waste sampling with NATA-accredited laboratory analysis, groundwater remediation using pump-and-treat, bioremediation, in-situ chemical oxidation, and monitored natural attenuation, landfill gas risk assessments, fuel tank decommissioning, sustainability consulting (GHG inventories, ESG reporting, net zero pathways), and technology-enabled drone/UAV aerial surveys incorporating multispectral imaging and thermal analysis.

The business runs on a project-based professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing tied to scope, site complexity, and regulatory requirements. Terralis does not sell a software platform; revenue is generated through fixed-fee project engagements across a horizontally segmented customer base that includes property developers, builders and civil contractors, industrial and commercial businesses, landowners, local government, and educational institutions. Client acquisition occurs through direct senior-led outreach, professional referrals from architects and planning consultants, and a digital content marketing footprint that includes an SEO-optimized blog, an Environmental Insights resource center, self-published industry comparison guides, and a LinkedIn company page. The firm positions deep expertise in the Environment Protection Amendment Act 2018, NEPM guidelines, and EPA Victoria frameworks as its principal differentiator within the Victorian environmental consulting market.

• AECOM Australia: Global infrastructure consultancy with an Australian environment practice delivering site assessment, remediation, and compliance services — comparable offering but with national footprint, design-and-construct integration, and large-frame panel contracts.
• Tetra Tech: Global environmental and engineering consultancy with Australian operations providing contaminated site assessment, remediation, and water-quality services — adjacent competitor with similar technical methodologies but vastly larger resourcing and international delivery capability.
• WSP Australia: Global professional services firm with a substantial Australian environmental practice covering contaminated land, remediation, and environmental approvals — competes for the same property-developer and government contracts but as part of a much broader multi-disciplinary portfolio.
