Mark has led teams in preparing regional-scale development strategies across inner Melbourne, middle suburban regions and all four of Melbourne’s growth corridors. He has a proven track record of navigating complex issues and competing agendas, always taking a hands-on approach to finding solutions.
His expertise spans a wide range of fields, including environmental policy, strategic planning, development approvals, development feasibility, negotiations and project management. Mark’s practical experience has taught him that successful delivery of planning and development projects requires leadership and understanding across multiple disciplines, and that the best development outcomes are achieved through persistence, adaptability and a keen focus on detail.
