Capability Statement

Introduction We provide thought leadership and intelligent insights to manage our waterways We have been working nationally and internationally to service federal and state government catchment and water resource management sector for over a decade and a half. The combined skills and resources across the Alluvium ecosystem are specially designed to support clients to solve complex and systematic challenges facing our society and environment. W​ ithin the river health context, we work across three core discipline areas: • Biophysical sciences and engineering; • Social sciences and human welfare; • Economics and public policy.





Our Business We recognised that the needs of Federal and State Government and our broader client base has changed over the past decade and a model of greater integration between biophysical and social science, economics and engineering was needed to continue to deliver work to a quality our clients expected. Working through our growth strategy helped to reinforce that what makes us unique is our technical specialisation. It allows us to align our leadership, research and development efforts, and staff training to excel in a technical space. Significantly it also helps us to attract the best people to our business. We were conscious not to replicate the structure of the larger multinationals and as a result, Alluvium Consulting is now part of the Alluvium Group. The broader group brings together scientists, planners, engineers, strategists, analysts and economists. We combine these skills to address the complex, systemic, and intractable issues that face our society, environment and economy. By solving these problems, we transform the way we live and the health and productivity of our catchments, rivers, coasts and communities. Our business model is driven by a genuine belief that technical specialisation serves our clients better.



Capability We provide an integrated skill set to solve the complex and systemic challenges facing our society and environment. Our service offering is broadly divided into 12 core areas of capability. Strategy Natural Capital River health Water resources Ecohydrology Evaluation Social science Engineering Economics Natural Events Liveability Urban Water

1. Policy and Strategy Developing quality policy, program frameworks, and strategy documents requires practicality, experience, compassion, and an understanding of context. We bring a high level of expertise in the development of policy and strategy as it applies to green infrastructure, water resources and natural resource management systems. Our strength is we bring together skills in-house skills in economics, bio physical science and social science to deliver well informed and well-designed solutions. • Policy design, analysis and review • Governance frameworks • Strategy development • Risk Management • Engagement and facilitation Development of Murray Darling Basin Plan Science Strategy Since the completion of the Basin Plan, there has been something of a proliferation of scientific studies and projects, often without strong linkages to Basin Plan outcomes, or to each other. Adding complexity, the various existing science programs, projects and reporting requirements in the Murray-Darling Basin have differing funding, governance, and decision‐making models. Alluvium was engaged to support the commonwealth and state governments to better define the science and knowledge needs of the Murray-Darling Basin and provide a more integrated governance model to ensure there is a clear science platform. This project required an investigation of relevant national and international examples of successful science program strategies, including any relevant reviews or investigations undertaken by Basin jurisdictions, and how the lessons from these could be considered in a Basin Science Strategy. The strategy development was driven by a number of multi-jurisdictional workshops and provides a model for incorporating future and emerging risks (e.g. climate change), and other significant stressors on the aquatic environment (e.g. thermal pollution). It outlined a process for optimising science outcomes with social and economic outcomes, including the need for parallel economic studies as part of science project development, and had agreed selection and project approval criteria that proposed science projects must meet before they are approved (including a risk assessment framework), to ensure alignment with the strategy. The strategy required an agreed governance and decision‐making model for science delivery that involves all jurisdictions, and a process for data and knowledge and sharing across jurisdictions to allow sharing of learnings and outcomes. It also articulated a five-year and 10-year success criteria, to be incorporated into science project objectives and the science plan program logic.

2. Natural Capital Natural Capital refers to the world’s stocks of natural assets, which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. Humans derive a wide range of services from Natural Capital, often called ecosystem services. Our understanding of natural, farming and economic systems allows us to develop natural capital programs to benefit both landholders and the environment • Ecosystem service definition • Natural capital market development • Sustainable finance options • Natural Capital strategy development • Risk Management • Engagement and facilitation Valuation of Ecosystem services in the Ayeyarwady basin, Myanmar The Ayeyarwady Basin is vitally important to the stock of natural capital, the nation’s economy, and the livelihoods of the people of Myanmar. If the Ayeyarwady Basin is not well managed, there are significant risks to the physical integrity and condition of the basin’s natural capital. The physical impacts of poor management could be profound and will have consequences that interfere with socio-economic values. A key building block in the development of integrated river basin management is the development of a comprehensive environmental, social, and economic baseline for the Ayeyarwady Basin. Developing an understanding of the economic values attributable to the Ayeyarwady Basin (the ecosystem services) is vital to appreciating the current benefits of good Ayeyarwady Basin management and to providing insight for assessing the planning, management, and investment options for the Ayeyarwady Basin in the future. We undertook an economic valuation of key ecosystem services in the Ayeyarwady Basin. The work provided an estimation of the value of ecosystem services and applies appropriate methodologies to value different ecosystem services for: irrigation, inland water transport, fisheries and aquaculture, potable water supply, biodiversity, and ecotourism. We estimate the aggregate value of the ecosystem services that we have assessed is in the range of $2.5 billion United States dollars (USD) to USD 6.9 billion per annum

3. River Health We specialise in river health science, stream restoration and channel design. Core to our success is that we work with nature rather than against it. Our ability to understand the future trajectory of stream systems allows us to design solutions that complement natural processes resulting in more efficient, resilient and sustainable design solutions. • Stream restoration and channel design • Geomorphic investigations and assessments • River health and ecological restoration • Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling • River diversion design • Fish passage design and mitigation • Stream bank stabilisation Fitzroy River fluvial geomorphology assessment and restoration plan The Fitzroy Basin is located in Central Queensland and drains into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon near Rockhampton. The floodplains of the lower Fitzroy River have undergone extensive changes since European settlement in the area. The removal of floodplain and riparian vegetation and the introduction of stock to the landscape have reduced bank stability. Significant erosion has occurred throughout the catchment since the 1950s resulting in excessive sediment loads being delivered to the Great Barrier Reef. Alluvium undertook a detailed river morphology assessment and developed a restoration plan for the lower 200 km of the Fitzroy River. The project involved the classification of the geomorphology , geomorphic units and riparian condition within the river and multi-temporal spatial analysis of LiDAR data and aerial imagery to determine areas of high fine sediment generation. We worked with the Fitzroy Basin Association and other key stakeholders including local and state government to develop a restoration plan to reduce sediment loss and improve riverine ecosystem health. In 2019 we designed and delivered the largest stream bank stabilisation project ever undertaken in Australia which has resulted in a fine sediment reduction of 30,000 tonnes/year.

4. Water resource management Alluvium has been instrumental in assessing and addressing the issues of water stressed systems across Australia. We work to improve environmental water management, balancing the needs of the environment with consumptive needs and other pressures across various scales – from small floodplain wetlands to heavily regulated river systems and landscape watering projects. We bring knowledge of river hydrology, hydraulics, ecology and geomorphic processes and link these processes to agreed objectives. • Environmental water management • Catchment hydrology • Catchment modelling • Climate science and analysis • GIS Spatial analysis Click here for news items from Delivering environmental flows in the Nimmie Caira the Nature Conservancy and One of the most successful Basin Plan projects is the restoration of the here for ABC news items Nimmie Caira. The Nimmie-Caira forms part of the lower Murrumbidgee River system located in southern NSW and comprises the southern floodplain for the Murrumbidgee River. The floodplain area is dominated by lignum shrub land that supports significant colonial nesting bird rookeries and prior to European settlement, the lignum shrublands were inundated as a result of regular natural flooding along the lower Murrumbidgee system. However, following settlement the land was developed for irrigated agriculture and land use intensified significantly and had substantial impacts on the flow and subsequent health of rivers and wetlands. In 2012, the Government purchase the land with the intent of returning the water to the system for both productive use and ecological outcomes. Alluvium was engaged to develop a comprehensive understanding of how water moves through the landscape and the eco-hydrological relationships associated with high value ecological assets and functions. We developed ecological objectives and conceptual modes, and development of hydraulic and hydrodynamic modelling. Following this work we developed concept, functional and detailed design of the water infrastructure to return areas of high ecological value back to a normal watering regime. Alluvium then developed a complete Land and Water Management Plan and supported the commercialisation negotiation. Concluding the 4 years of our involvement with the Nimmie Caira was the hand over of the site to a consortium made up of the Nature Conservancy, the Nari Nari Tribal Council and other partners who will now take on the future management of the 85,000 hectare site.

5. Ecohydrology We have played a key role in the development of environmental water plans, balancing competing environmental and consumptive needs. Our experience in environmental flows science extends well beyond the delivery of FLOWS studies and we have led the science in the understanding of ecological functions as they pertain to hydrological indices. We regularly support our clients to developed ecohydrology conceptual models. Our work in understanding environmental flows extends to both rural and urban catchments • Environmental flows studies • Eco hydrology science • Conceptual models • Environmental analytics and modelling • GIS Spatial analysis Reporting framework for environmental watering outcomes The Office for the Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability engaged Alluvium and Natural Capital Economics to develop a framework to evaluate and report on environmental watering outcomes in Victoria. The framework provides the means for an independent assessment of the Victorian approach to environmental water and commentary around its effectiveness in meeting agreed objectives. This work affords transparency of outcomes and allowed the Victorian government to advance its thinking and approach to managing the environment. The process to develop this framework involved a number of innovative steps which have endeavoured to operationalise the key SoE reform directions outlined in Framework for the Victorian 2018 State of the Environment Report: State and Benefit (2017). Key was the developing the conceptual framework (based on the ecosystem services framework) to als.o reflect important principles and directions outlined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The work developed an evaluation and reporting framework ensuring that a holistic conceptual understanding of environmental watering was established and framing environmental watering in line with the directions of the UN SDGs. The project also established a sound and shared understanding of environmental watering based on the ecosystem services framework to provide a valuable conceptual framework for analysing the linkages between the natural environment and people.

6. Evaluation We work with our clients to facilitate the development of program logics and theory of change. Our program models are then used as a basis for developing an integrated monitoring and evaluation framework. We advise on the audience, appropriate scale, evaluation questions, performance criteria, indicators, data sources and methods. In a collaborative process we also deliver evaluation services to help our clients to determine the worth and efficacy of policies, strategy, projects, programs and services. • Evaluation frameworks • Program evaluation • Data analytics and visualisation • Engagement and facilitation Evaluating Landscape-Scale Change across QLD Over the last 20 years, the Queensland Government has invested significant resources in natural resource management (NRM) using a regionally-based delivery model, primarily through Queensland’s regional NRM bodies. The decision to move to a regionally-based delivery model was driven by the belief that it would result in more responsive, legitimate and effective governance that would take better account of local circumstance, and that regional groups could provide the much-needed link between the community and government priorities for strategic planning and investment. This project specifically sets out to design and implement an evaluation process that would focus on the assessment of landscape scale change towards a number of priority NRM outcome areas across all fourteen NRM regions in Queensland using a collaborative knowledge synthesis approach. Our work developed and trailed a process that assessed change at the intermediate outcome scale but that also a) incorporates multiple views and knowledge claims by a wide number of stakeholders; b) builds capacity and tactic knowledge of the participants involved in the process; and c) documents potential data sources of evidence to substantiate the claims. Alluvium worked with all 14 NRM regional bodies across Queensland to understand how and to what extent change has occurred as a result of 10 years of NRM investment. To do this we relied on the use of ‘impact pathways’ that describe the logic and assumptions behind investment decisions and how these propose to achieve a range of NRM-related outcomes at a landscape scale. Eleven outcomes and their associated indicators were identified across the four impact pathways – socio-economic, soil, water and biodiversity.

7. Social Science Cities and rural communities are complex mosaics of biophysical and social issues We specialise in advanced spatial analytics and applied social science to understand the distribution of different communities, their motivations and aspirations. We draw unique insights from our social analysis capabilities to inform strategies and plans to improve the lives of urban and rural communities • Social analysis • Community resilience studies • Climate adaptation • Community welfare analysis • Socio-economics studies • Socio-ecological studies Reconnecting River County Program Social assessment – Options Evaluation Framework As part of a consultant team, Mosaic Insights was commissioned by Department of Planning, Industry and the Environment (DPIE) to develop the method for a social assessment of impacts or benefits of mitigation and flow options (which also included economic, environmental and First Nations components) proposed under the Reconnecting River Country Program. As a key component of the Murray Darling Basin Plan, the Reconnecting River Country Program will improve the health of the ecosystems in the southern connected Basin. The Program will deliver environmental benefits in a balanced way, where social, economic, and cultural considerations are considered integral to identifying viable and sustainable options for increasing river flows in the region. Collaboration and broad community support is therefore critical to the success of the Program and the NSW Government is committed to collaborating with landholders, stakeholders and the community to identify potential impacts, benefits and mitigation measures for increasing environmental flows. Mosaic developed comprehensive methods and detailed guidance for DPIE (or DPIE contractors) to conduct social assessments of potential impacts and benefits of the Program across the southern Basin. Identifying a combination of reliable social indicators and data sources; desktop analysis methods; and providing a framework for the social assessment aspect of the engagement, our package of works for the social assessment was comprehensive and easily transferable to the agencies who would be conducting the work.

8. Engineering design and construction management We specialise in constructed waterway, wetland and river engineering design. We work actively in constructed waterways, wetland and shallow lake engineering and we always pursue design solutions which incorporate elements of liveability, cultural integration and community health benefits. Our engineering skills include stream restoration and channel design and core to our success is that we work with nature rather than against it • Constructed wetland and shallow lake engineering design • Retarding basin engineering design • Waterway bed and bank stabilisation engineering • Instream water regulation structure design • Urban constructed waterway engineering • Pipe daylighting/channel naturalisation engineering • Fish passage design and engineering • Liveability integration into built assets Merri Edgars Wetland design and construction Alluvium designed and managed construction of this 0.4 ha wetland which treats an urban catchment of 10 ha. The primary purpose of the wetland is to provide habitat and assist in the reintroduction of a range of locally native flora and fauna, whilst also improving the quality of water entering the Merri and Edgars Creek. Prior to European settlement ephemeral wetland environments would have been commonplace along waterways such as the Merri Creek. The wetland design focused on complementing the existing natural open space experience of both Merri and Edgars Creek so valued by many in the local community. Click here for friends of Merri Creek news item Key to our work is we provide Melbourne Water with multiple engineering managers containing chartered status through Engineers Australia. Our dedication to safety is reflective of the organisational culture of Alluvium and we are highly committed to all aspects of safety in practice. Formal Safety-in-Design (SiD) is a key process Alluvium engineers and is a legislated requirement in which our engineers consider safety aspects in the construction, operation and maintenance phases of the project to identify potential improvements that can be built into the design to remove hazards, improve accessibility, accommodate WH&S constraints, and enhance safety.

9. Economics We focus on integrating science and economics and our business is focused on helping clients understand and resolve the most complex and pressing challenges related to climate change, energy and water resources, agriculture, and our natural environment. We regularly undertake detailed socio-economic impacts assessments to inform policy and investment decisions. • Socio-economic impact assessments • Cost benefit analysis • Non-Market Valuation • Market design and analysis • Pricing, cost-sharing and co-investment Socioeconomic outcomes of environmental watering Environmental watering has been a major Government program in Victoria, particularly since the ‘Millennium drought’. The focus of this program has been to manage the water flow regime to help improve or maintain the health of rivers, floodplains and wetlands – and associated plants and animals. Healthy rivers, floodplains and wetlands provide a range of benefits that are important for society and the economic system both within these geographical areas and across wider Victoria. However, to date, the nature and extent of these socio-economic benefits have not been well understood by many stakeholder groups. After being engaged by the Victorian Government, we used an ecosystem services framework to scope for benefits and quantified values for: pollination services to almond production, climate regulation services, avoided salinity management costs, avoided hypoxic black water and blue-green algae risk, recreation services, and existence and bequest benefits from environmental watering in northern Victoria.. .

10. Natural events Alluvium plays a key role in supporting our client in planning and responding to fire, floods and drought. We are one of the most experienced consultants supporting regional authorities in flood recovery, and in particular helping authorities with Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) funded planning and works. Our skills also extend to drought policy and planning as we have provided a leadership role in supporting entities to understand sediment generation and movement following fire. • Flood recovery assessment • Rapid prioritisation of immediate works • Community and economic impact assessment • Post fire sediment modelling • Drought refuge planning • Drought structure adjustment programs Regional-scale mapping of fire severity and erosion risk Through an internally funded initiative, Alluvium has mapped fire severities and modelled post-fire erosion risk for 6 million hectares of burned areas in temperate forests of eastern Australia. The work draws on the most recent research on bushfire hydrology in Australia and has been carried out in collaboration with Forest Hydrology Group at The University of Melbourne. The outputs from the project includes maps of fire severity, pre-fire erosion rates and post-fire erosion rates at a 1 x 1 km resolution. These maps are provided as high-resolution images in the links below.

11. Livability Water and green infrastructure play a central role in creating viable, sustainable and resilient cities. We employ specialists in green/blue infrastructure policy, strategy and design at the city-scale. We work with government agencies and private industry to create greener, cooler and healthier cities. • Shaping cities and communities • Urban cooling and comfort analysis • Resilience planning • Climate change adaption and resilience • Social analysis • Liveability concepts and planning Cooling benefit of urban forestry for Amaravati in India Mosaic Insights was engaged by the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities, the Australian Water Partnership and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to analyse the cooling benefit of urban forestry and irrigation for the city of Amaravati in India, which is currently under construction. Basing spatial information on a masterplan we applied the CRC developed TARGET model to the city-scale and to the street-scale to quantify how urban forestry will impact the temperature and heat stress levels in this new city. We determined that throughout the city increased street trees and irrigated grass has the potential to reduce temperatures and improve human thermal comfort across the city, while at the street scale adding trees along the canals gives the most benefits in the morning as opposed to the afternoon. We also conducted street orientation analysis to determine which streets would benefit the most from the shading effects of trees, an analysis of the height- width ratios of different parts of the city to determine whether shading from trees can add cooling value, and an analysis of street orientations to understand those that benefit most from green facades and meteorological analysis of the prevailing winds to potentially influence design decisions for the city. The insights gained from this project will inform future planning and design decisions for the new city of Amaravti.

12. Urban Water We work across all areas of urban surface water management. This work includes research, policy development, catchment scale planning strategies, option evaluation and prioritisation, feasibility assessments, concept and detailed design. We plan and design these assets with amenity, cooling, natural system protection and community health benefits in mind. • Water Sensitive Urban Design • Urban waterway naturalisation • Waterway ecology • Climate change adaption and resilience • Integrated water management • Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling • GIS Spatial analysis Arnolds Creek Channel Naturalisation Now, more than ever, people are valuing their accessible green spaces: Click here to view a short video of the neighbourhood parks, bush walks Arnolds Creek project next to local creeks, and cycle tracks along rivers. However, the quality of people’s experiences is likely to vary widely depending on their local access to public spaces with nature. The liveability of our local neighbourhoods has never been more important, as more and more people use and connect with our public green spaces. Alluvium’s team have been active over the past decade in advancing the policy, science, planning, and engineering of waterway naturalisation. More recently, this has included creating designs to maximise social and community benefits, along with ecological and flood management outcomes. Alluvium lead the design of one of Melbourne Water’s first major naturalisation projects, and within this program was reimagining 1.4 km of Arnolds Creek in Melton West. The Reimagining program has an emphasis on community input and included significant community engagement throughout the design process to inform the desired outcomes and design elements at the site. The restoration of the waterway and creation of high-quality open space not only provides for improved ecological conditions, but also improves amenity of public open space, ultimately encouraging the community to use the space.

Danielle Udy Qualifications: Bachelor of Science (Geography) 1st Class Honours University of Queensland, 2014 Industry affiliations: Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society River Basin Management Society Danielle is a Senior Catchment Modeller whose interest lies in hydrology, climatology and water quality. She has local and national experience in multiple aspects of water resources management ranging from catchment and water quality modelling to hydro-climatological studies. In recent years, Danielle has used and developed a range of catchment and estuary models across Australia to inform management options for hydrology and water quality. Recent projects in the Upper Murrumbidgee and Maribyrnong (Emu and Jackson Creeks) catchments have involved streamflow analysis (seasonal to decadal variability) and development of Source models with configuration of future land use change and climate change scenarios. The findings from these studies are currently being used to assess impacts of future development and climate on hydrology and water quality in the catchments. She has also been involved in a range of hydro-climatology projects involving strategic reviews of water policy and infrastructure under historical and future climate conditions in the Hunter region and identifying climate refuge areas across the Murray Darling Basin. Danielle has well developed technical skills in hydrologic and water quality modelling, the analysis of climate and hydrological data and GIS investigations and analysis. Danielle combines her skills and experience in catchment modelling and hydro-climatology to develop trans-disciplinary knowledge on water related challenges. In her spare time Danielle is likely to be found travelling and exploring the outdoors by rock climbing, skiing and sailing. Key skill areas include: • Hydro-climatology studies • Catchment and pollutant export modelling (eWater Source) • GIS analysis and remote sensing (ArcGIS, Mapinfo, ENVI and ERDAS IMAGINE) • Hydrodynamic and water quality modelling (TUFLOW FV and AED2) • Coding (Matlab/Python) Relevant projects: Client Year Role Project Description Source model ACT 2017- Catchment development This project involved the development of linked Source Government present modeller of Upper catchment and river models of the Upper Murrumbidgee Murrumbidgee.

Quality The model was configured to include two climate change Modelling scenarios. This model is to be used in detailed ecological flow assessments for the catchment into the future. SEQ Report Card This project used a combination of climatological and Modelling hydrological data to identify likely climate refuge areas within Murray Darling Basin under varying climate change scenarios (using NARCliM). This project used the Source modelling framework to investigate the effectiveness of riparian revegetation scenarios in key drinking water supply catchments in Southeast Queensland. A suite of models developed for Healthy Waterways in 2015 including Source catchment and TUFLOW FV estuary models were used to quantify the impact of various investment scenarios on water quality in Southeast Queensland. The three scenarios included baseline (2015), business as usual and full investment. Catchment and estuary/bay models were developed and calibrated for the Southeast Queensland region from Noosa to Logan. A suite of modelling platforms (eWater Source, TUFLOW FV and AED2) were used in this project. m 0435 521 432 e [email protected] w www.alluvium.com.au
