Mary River Recovery Program
Alluvium supported recovery planning and implementation for the Mary River, focusing on river condition, rehabilitation priorities, investment planning and long-term catchment outcomes.

Alluvium Consulting is a leader in catchment, river and coastal analysis and advice. Our focus is water, and how it interacts with the environmental and community challenges that shape landscapes.
We are a science, engineering, strategy and design practice. Since 2006, we have worked with government, regulators, utilities, developers and the resources sector to understand natural and built water systems, resolve complex problems and turn evidence into practical action.
Our work is grounded in a deep understanding of how Australian catchments, rivers, floodplains, wetlands, coasts and disturbed landscapes function. We combine applied science with engineering and on-ground management experience so that the strategies and designs we develop respond to natural processes rather than work against them.
That capability spans waterway and wetland management, fluvial geomorphology, catchment hydrology and flood modelling, water and catchment policy, engineered design solutions, urban water systems, coastal management, climate adaptation and resilience, environmental strategy, evaluation and audit.
Our waterway specialists bring together geomorphology, hydrology, hydraulics, aquatic ecology and river engineering. That integrated view allows us to understand how stream systems are likely to evolve and to design rehabilitation and management responses that are practical, resilient and sustainable.
Our engineering work extends across waterway and coastal erosion, floodplain management, urban stormwater, mine water management, gully erosion, fish passage and instream water regulation structures. We have designed waterway erosion solutions for almost two decades, combining hydraulic modelling and engineering with an understanding of river processes and landscape response.
For the resources sector, this creates a particularly strong platform. Mine closure and rehabilitation are fundamentally landscape and water problems: runoff, erosion, landform stability, drainage, receiving waterways, ecology and long-term stewardship all interact. We can bring those disciplines together from strategy and assessment through design, implementation and monitoring.
We differentiate ourselves through technical depth, evidence-based advice and significant on-ground experience. We are deliberately collaborative, entrepreneurial and independent in our thinking, and we give our people room to lead, pursue ideas and challenge established practice when the evidence points somewhere better.
