With over 35 years of experience in the arboricultural and consulting industry, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges that come with managing urban forests and trees in development projects.

From residential to large infrastructure projects, I’ve been involved in a wide range of assignments, each with its unique set of challenges. This experience has honed my expertise in providing high-quality, impartial assessments that lead to practical, sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders.

My career began in landscaping, but I quickly discovered my passion for urban forestry and arboriculture. Over the years, I have made it my mission to not only support development but also ensure that trees, an essential part of our urban environment, are managed thoughtfully and responsibly.

Whether I’m advising on a project to retain significant trees or helping to resolve complex issues between developers and councils, I always strive to balance environmental responsibility with practical outcomes.

At the core of my business is a commitment to quality.

Our goal is to deliver honest, accurate reports that reflect the best possible solution for both the client and the environment.

This ethos is reflected in our comprehensive approach to project management, from our in-house capabilities to our willingness to take on projects that other consultants shy away from. Our internal team, combined with our network of professionals, allows us to handle complex and politically sensitive jobs with confidence.

Our clients include Brisbane City Council, Noosa Council, Queensland Urban Utilities, Griffith University, Queensland Rail, Southbank Parklands and more.

We are members of the Urban Development Institute of Australia, Queensland Arboricultural Association, Arboriculture Australia and many more.

My leadership approach is rooted in continuous improvement.

In addition, I provide Expert Witness Services, through my leverage my years of industry knowledge to provide detailed, defensible assessments in legal settings, often helping to resolve disputes and find fair outcomes for all parties involved.
