Testimonials

“I recently had the opportunity to work for the first time with Terry Short, Managing Director of Highlands Environmental. We were engaged as expert witnesses in a case before the Queensland Land Court, in which I provided geotechnical engineering expertise and Terry mine rehabilitation and soil science expertise. From the outset Terry’s subject matter expertise was obvious and his work was of a very high standard. His court experience, and his willingness to share that experience with me and the other experts involved, were of particular value, and enabled us to complete our work successfully and in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Terry and I look forward to working with him again.”

“We engaged Terry Short as an environmental impacts expert witness (in particular, in relation to mine waste geochemistry) in a Planning and Environment Court Appeal. In his role as an impartial expert witness, Terry's written and oral evidence, which was subject to detailed scrutiny and opposing views, was of a very high standard and was ultimately accepted by the Court. Terry's evidence and involvement in the matter more generally was instrumental in our client achieving a positive outcome. On the personal side, Terry is a great bloke and a pleasure to work with, which is a view that is shared by the senior counsel and other experts involved. I look forward to working with Terry again.”

“It’s been a real pleasure working with Terry and the team from Highlands Environmental. They provided thorough analysis and practical recommendations for our grasslands rehabilitation project.”
