As a consultant, I am involved with a mixture of parks planning, asset management, capital works delivery and programme management projects for councils. My role often requires a high degree of meaningful consultation and engagement with the public and key stakeholders. I am supporting the Yardstick Parks Surveys project while also providing GIS support for the mapping of parks and reserves to support public access to open spaces. I have worked in local and national government roles in New Zealand, Scotland and Australia, in a natural resource management capacity, which has made me flexible in understanding a variety of topics within local communities.
