Cassie is passionate about using her planning, design, and engagement skills to achieve her client’s visions, achieve best practice outcomes and develop communities.
Cassie recently made her return to private consulting after working at the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage within the State Development Assessment Unit and Planning Reform teams. Her love for planning, design and engagement comes from an early obsession with playing Sims City and her involvement in local sporting clubs and community groups. This led Cassie to obtaining a degree in Urban and Regional Planning in WA and a Certificate of Engagement with the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2).
In 2023, Cassie was recognised as WA Young Planner of the Year by the Planning Institute of Australia and received a national commendation. She is the Governor of the Planning Institute of Australia’s Women in Planning Network, and a member of the Industry Advisory Group for Curtin University’s Urban and Regional Planning course.
Cassie is Perth born and raised, with a connection to the Wheatbelt region where her family farm the land. In her downtime, Cassie loves to explore Perth’s best eateries, taking her dog to new locations for walks, and planning her next international adventure.
Engagement can open doors to opportunities, achieve buy-in, streamline approval processes, and develop communities and relationships.
