Specialists in Catchment Dynamics, Planning, Landscape Architecture, Engineering Design, and Digital Innovations

Awa Environmental

As rainfall intensifies and communities grow, flood risk is rising. The way we manage stormwater quantity and quality across urban, rural, and suburban areas has never mattered more. 

Awa is shaping stormwater to reduce flood risk, protect critical assets and infrastructure, and build resilient communities and thriving ecosystems.

We do this by seamlessly integrating Catchment Dynamics, Planning, Landscape Architecture, Engineering Design and Digital Innovations – collaborating with clients and stakeholders to overcome complex stormwater challenges and strengthen climate adaptation.

We have been interdisciplinary from the start, working as one team rather than a collection of service lines. This approach, combined with decades of experience and deep technical expertise, means hard infrastructure and nature-based solutions grounded in hydraulic reality, consents built on defensible evidence, and pragmatic designs that perform technically, ecologically, and for the people who help shape and benefit from them.

We forge lasting client partnerships by anticipating needs, guiding through uncertainty, and unlocking new value. We build trust with clients, communities, iwi, contractors, councils, developers, insurers, funders, and financiers alike through clear communication, rigorous project management, and genuine collaboration.
