"My team works on a diverse range of projects from preliminary design all the way through to delivery. As South-East Queensland is so diverse, no two projects are ever the same. We aim to preserve Queensland’s environmental and cultural heritage while planning and implementing transport infrastructure, all while balancing the need for environmental protection and infrastructure implementation."
