Wendy enjoys the challenge of project management for major infrastructure and strategic policy projects, combining strong analytical and organisation skills with a collaborative approach to drive successful outcomes. Over a career spanning 30 years, she has led a large number of high-profile landscape planning and design projects for major infrastructure across Australia and the UK.

Her experience encompasses:

Open space, recreation and green infrastructure planning (parks, trails, urban landscaping and dog exercise)
Transportation (freight and passenger rail, road, port and airport)
Energy (windfarms, solar, transmission, BESS, PHES and Liquefied Natural Gas)
Water (including flood mitigation)
Mining (silica, coal, aggregates and metalliferous mines)
Urban expansion (subdivisions, sewage, industrial and recycling).

Many of these projects addressed the careful integration of infrastructure into environments sensitive on account of their biodiversity, heritage or visual values.
