Bowden Consultancy (trading name Bowden Environmental) was established in 1997 by Michael Bowden and March 2022 marked the 25th anniversary for this Kaiapoi based and locally owned business.

The company was set up initially to assist individuals and businesses that required specialist expertise in water resources engineering involving hydrology, hydraulics and water resource systems. The core business of Bowden Environmental is helping farmers, farm managers and other landowners obtain resource consent for their farming practices. The requirements for gaining resource consent can be a complicated process for farmers, so Bowden Environmental is here to assist in the process.

The company has expanded its operations and services which relate to all aspects of groundwater and surface water consents, effluent discharges, management plans and storage, water supply and services, reticulation, resource management and site investigation. The company also has a broad experience of council and environmental court hearings, compliance and environmental monitoring programmes and reports.

Significant experience has been gained and is routinely called upon to provide in field data collection and analysis (e.g. aquifer testing, surface water gauging, and water quality testing).

We look forward to a bright future as your choice in a Canterbury owned and operated environmental consultancy.
