I have built a career in town planning over the last 30 years. My experience in both the private and public sector has culminated in my role as Executive Director of Wolter Consulting Group, a South East Qld based consultancy providing planning, urban design, landscape, survey and environmental services to government, development and infrastructure sector clients. I am a Registered Planner with the Planning Institute of Australia, a recognised expert town planning witness to the Court and specialise in strategic, statutory planning and development advisory.In early 2016, I co-founded YIMBY Qld, a not-for-profit public interest organisation, saying yes in my back yard to good development that makes for better living. YIMBY Qld believe good development outcomes enhance everyday life, and features one or more of the 4 YIMBY Qld qualities - design excellence, sustainability, innovation and community dividend. YIMBY Qld has been established to celebrate, encourage and support good development and hopes to bring back some balance to the urban policy debate, so often dominated by the NIMBY narrative.In 2019, I joined the Board of Beddown as Deputy Chair. Beddown is a charitable organisation providing pop-up accommodation hubs for those who are most vulnerable, to ensure no one has to sleep on the street, under bridges or on benches in Australia. I became Chair of the Board in 2021 and was instrumental in the facilitation of Beddown joining forces with InCommunity in mid 2022.I am also a current Member of the Property Council 2022/23 Committee for Cities and the Qld Government’s Housing Supply Expert Panel.
