I played an active part in business development assisting in the growth of the business of the unit by over 30% within 3 years. During my employment with Ward Hadaway I acted on development management applications, planning and enforcement appeals (written reps, hearings and public inquiries) for numerous developers, land owners and institutions. I have represented clients at Public Inquiries as expert witness.AccomplishmentsAfter joining I assisted in organising a targeted PR campaign to work in collaboration with local agents.
