Available for independent technical review & advisory support

Supporting defensible decisions on complex stormwater & infrastructure submissions.

Independent review and performance advice for local government and project teams where submissions are technically challenging, sensitive, or time-critical.

I provide structured, evidence-based assessment of stormwater management plans, WSUD systems, hydraulic analyses and related documentation — helping strengthen technical defensibility and support sound decision-making when internal resources are stretched or specialist input is warranted.

Services

Independent technical review of complex submissions

Structured review of stormwater & drainage documentation, modelling assumptions, treatment adequacy and guideline alignment — delivered as a concise written memorandum.

  • WSUD / MUSIC / SMP review
  • Hydraulic & flood assessment review
  • Risk framing and decision defensibility

Infrastructure performance investigation

Independent assessment of existing stormwater or environmental infrastructure — focusing on performance, hydraulics, constraints and practical improvement pathways.

  • Practical upgrade recommendations

Specialist advisory input

Targeted engineering judgement for constrained or sensitive problems — where a second set of experienced eyes reduces risk and improves outcomes.

  • Peer review / expert support
  • Guideline interpretation
  • Evidence-based options analysis

What makes this different

My work sits between consulting delivery and academic rigour — translating complex technical material into clear, defensible advice that decision-makers can rely on.
