Amey’s Australian growth journey expands to Victoria with acquisition of North East Survey Design

Amey has acquired North East Survey Design (NESD), a respected Victorian multidisciplinary consultancy, strengthening its capability across engineering while expanding its presence across the state.

NESD provides civil engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, project management and development consulting services across North East Victoria. Operating from Wangaratta and Echuca, its 20-strong team helps clients deliver sustainable, community-focused infrastructure and development projects.

The acquisition brings together Amey’s global infrastructure experience in full life-cycle engineering with NESD’s deep local knowledge and regional expertise. It will broaden the services available to its combined client portfolio and provide NESD with the resources and technical capability to pursue larger and more complex opportunities across Victoria, wider Australia and other target geographies.

This marks another important milestone in Amey’s international expansion and growth journey, following its re-entry into the Australian market through the acquisition of Premise in 2025, and reinforces Amey’s commitment to supporting locally led infrastructure, development and community projects across the state.

Andy Milner, Chief Executive Officer of Amey, said: “We are delighted to welcome North East Survey Design to Amey as we continue to grow our presence in Australia.

“Australia is a market where we see significant long-term opportunity, and by backing high-performing local consultancies like North East Survey Design, we are demonstrating our commitment to supporting the country’s infrastructure ambitions and delivering high-quality services that create lasting value for clients and communities.

“We are excited to provide the scale, resources and expertise to build on North East Survey Design’s success, helping the business enhance the great work it is already delivering for clients and communities as it enters its next chapter as part of Amey.”

Duane Gibson, Business Director, Amey said: “North East Survey Design’s expertise in engineering, surveying, planning and development consultancy makes it an excellent fit for Amey. Its talented team and strong regional presence will further strengthen our consulting capability and broaden the services we can offer clients across Victoria and beyond.

“Together, we have an exciting opportunity to deliver even greater value for clients through an expanded service offering, deeper technical capability and the capacity to support increasingly complex infrastructure and development projects across the region.”

Matthew Sammon, Founder and General Manager of NESD, said: “North East Survey Design has built its reputation on strong relationships, client-focused delivery and practical, high-quality outcomes in regional Victoria. We take pride in understanding the needs of our clients and communities and delivering projects that support their growth, resilience and the creation of high-quality, liveable developments.

“Joining Amey is an exciting step forward for NESD. It builds on the reputation we have developed over nearly two decades and gives our people access to greater resources, broader technical capability and new opportunities to contribute to more complex, innovative projects.

“This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver the client-focused service our partners value, while expanding what we can achieve together. We are proud of what NESD has accomplished and confident that, with Amey, we can deliver even greater outcomes for our clients and our region.”
