Fields of research

Environmental Sciences Urban and regional planning

Qualifications

  • PhD, The University of Queensland
  • Master of Urban & Regional Planning, The University of Queensland
  • Bachelor of Human Movement Studies, The University of Queensland
  • Postgraduate Diploma in Education, The University of Queensland
  • Bachelor of Arts (Hons), The University of Queensland

Research interests

  • Coastal planning and management

    Investigation has centred on a comparative analysis of coastal planning and management frameworks in the major oceans, with a focus on small island states. The research will provide a foundation for developing sustainable coastal plans in a variety of settings.

  • Integrated Buffer Planning

    The development of an innovative, practical planning tool to guide planners in the design of integrated buffers to better conserve the values of environmentally sensitive areas.

  • Regional planning

    With colleagues in government, the development of regional planning documents which contribute to enhanced sustainability.
