About Peter

Curious – Connect – Thoughtful – Bold – Passion

Peter has a 27-year career in urban policy and place projects marked by engaging with the community and stakeholders.

At the heart of Peter’s practice is drawing upon the collective wisdom to create better decisions.

He has worked on metropolitan planning strategies for the Victorian and New South Wales governments, and place-based renewal projects with the Victorian Government and at the City of Port Phillip.

Working and leading different projects, at different scales, and in different settings (metropolitan and regional) has required Peter to determine project plans, create shared alignment, drive projects and determine processes to get the right mix of stakeholders and community people in the room, and to problem solve.

By exploring and defining the problem, Peter brings people together to explore options, ideas and solutions. Peter brings energy and passion to his work and relationships and builds camaraderie with the team.
