OUR STORY

An Environmental Consulting Company

Based in Tweed Heads, HMC Environmental Consulting understands the soils, climate, and council processes of Northern NSW and South-East Queensland, built on extensive experience across regional, rural, and urban developments by its founding team, Helen Tunks and Mark Tunks, qualified Environmental Scientists [B.App.Sc.(Env. Health)]

Through years of working in local councils across NSW and Qld,

the team has seen how projects can be delayed when environmental and wastewater issues are not addressed early or when documentation does not meet council standards.

At HMC, we’ve also observed that many property owners and industry professionals

are often unaware of requirements such as Environmental Management Plans, Contaminated Land Investigations, Groundwater Monitoring, and Pre-Demolition Under Slab Soil Investigations until later in the process. Leading to significant impacts on costs and project timelines.

This insight shaped HMC Environmental Consulting’s approach

to provide technically sound environmental reporting, clear communication, and close collaboration with councils, certifiers, and builders to achieve the best outcomes.

With a team of experienced, long-standing professionals,

we work closely with property owners and industry clients to ensure projects are done right the first time. Our reputation is built on being helpful, friendly, honest, and respectful, with many long-term clients continuing to rely on us and discovering new services as their developments progress.

Environmental Management does not have to be complicated. With the right advice at the right time, the process can be transparent and beneficial for both property owners and the environment.

We focus on identifying environmental requirements early to avoid delays, rejected applications and compliance issues later.
