With twenty-four of experience as an environmental manager and ecologist in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, Wayne has an in-depth understanding of the unique qualities of these regions, their complex land management issues and the regulatory framework that affords them protection.

Wayne has held ecology team lead roles in national and international urban design, engineering and environmental management firms, and has coordinated environmental planning approvals and management plans for a wide range of urban development, public infrastructure and resource development projects. He is very familiar with approval processes, and with facilitating development outcomes in sensitive environmental settings.
