Director - Planning and Infrastructure Economics

Sydney

Planning for our cities and their infrastructure needs is complex, as is understanding how they will grow and which projects will enhance community wellbeing and prosperity now, and into the future.

The challenge lies in the need to balance a ‘predict and provide’ approach that addresses immediate infrastructure demands with strategic infrastructure, which has the potential to shape the future and alter demand patterns.
