James loves being a part of an industry that facilitates positive change in the way we live, work and experience our city. Forming new connections with old places and linking the past and the future to create exciting new identities.

By delivering an experience focused on the achievement of high quality built outcomes, and with a keen eye for practical implications. James helps his clients create places that enhance livability and promote greater functionality in the urban places we live in.

James joined TBB in 2022, bringing with him 10 years of planning and urban design experience in the State Government. Over his career to date he is most proud of being part of the planning team that implemented the Elizabeth Quay transformation and early planning for Subi East.

After bouncing between Perth and Albany, he finally moved to Perth permanently to complete his Bachelor of Arts (Hons) – Urban and Regional Planning from Curtin.

When he's not spending time with his young family in his spare time, you'll find James out on the golf course.

Town planning is the synthesis of complex and competing concepts to develop a framework that produces positive change in the places that we live and work, for the betterment of our community.
