Looking for an environmental consultant in Adelaide, SA?
iEnvi provides senior-led environmental consulting across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia — contaminated land investigation, remediation, groundwater assessment, asbestos in soil, ecology and expert witness support — aligned with the SA EPA Site Contamination framework, the Environment Protection Act 1993 (SA) and the ASC NEPM 2013.
By Michael Nicholls, Managing Director — iEnvironmental Australia. CEnvP Site Contamination Specialist.
Adelaide and South Australian regulatory context
South Australia’s site contamination regime differs from the eastern states. The SA EPA operates under the Environment Protection Act 1993 and the Environment Protection (Site Contamination) Policy 2023, with site contamination audits delivered by accredited Site Contamination Auditors. Key local considerations:
- Acid sulfate soils across the Adelaide Plains, Port Adelaide and the coastal zones of Gulf St Vincent require specific investigation and management when ground disturbance is planned.
- Historical industrial land in Port Adelaide, Thebarton, Kilburn, Regency Park and Wingfield frequently triggers preliminary site investigation ahead of redevelopment.
- Viticultural and horticultural soils across the Barossa, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills can carry legacy organochlorine and arsenic contamination from historical agricultural use.
- Groundwater zones including the Adelaide Metropolitan Prescribed Wells Area require special attention under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019.
- PFAS reporting follows the PFAS NEMP 3.0 framework, with SA EPA maintaining its own published management plan.
Where iEnvi has delivered in South Australia

Adelaide projects are supported from our eastern-seaboard offices with local field teams and SA EPA-aligned reporting.
