ERA is built on Emma’s passion for people, place and planning.

Emma leads by example, bringing her strong personal values to life both internally at ERA and in team members’ abilities to build and realise clients’ planning needs.

Emma has more than 20 years’ technical experience and continues to practise as a planner, managing a wide range of projects ranging from large-scale master and structure plans through to large-scale development applications. She also regularly appears as an expert witness before the Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal and the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

Emma has oversight across all ERA projects, but is particularly proud of her work with:

• Infill Development Pilot Project,
• City of Hobart Transport Strategy background papers,
• Cradle Mountain Gateway,
• Freycinet Peninsula Master Plan,
• Three Capes Lodge walk experience and
