Queensland Water Advisory Services

Queensland Water Advisory Services is a niche consultancy providing personalised support and expert guidance on water management issues, supporting landholders in navigating complex legislation and negotiations with government departments, resource companies and others.

Our small team is led by Judy Plath, an agricultural scientist with a strong background in water resource management. Judy is a member of a farming family in the Childers region, south of Bundaberg, which is fortunate to own surface water and groundwater resources. Judy's personal knowledge of the importance of water to a successful agricultural business brings a practical, real world focus to her consultancy services.

“Queensland Water Advisory Services were thorough and efficient in investigating an inquiry we had about our water assets.

Understanding the Water Plan for our region, and the options we have for our water, can be quite confusing and it was good to be able to engage a professional to help us navigate that process.

Judy’s written report on her enquiries on our behalf clearly summarised her findings and provided a good reference document for us”.
