  • Proposal preparation and some business development activities;
  • Liaison with landowners, developers and architects;
  • Providing advice and guidance on planning and land use to a variety of clients including leading house builders, developers, land promoters, investment institutions, utility and infrastructure companies, waste management operators and others , as well as local planning authorities throughout all stages of the planning process
