I was first brought into the Alliance to help with the Piritahi Economic Stimulation Taskforce Project (affectionately named ‘PEST’), where I oversaw due diligence reporting. I then held an interim Manager position for the Shovel Ready projects and eventually morphed into this permanent role as Land Development Manager, two months ago.
The Land Development Team is made up of specialised civil engineers and CAD designers. We are involved in project conception, design and assist in obtaining all necessary resource consents and approvals from Council. We then hand projects over to the construction team for delivery. Moving forward, I see opportunities for more collaboration, within the organisation, and also with our many stakeholders and Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs).
Something that really stands out to me at Piritahi is seeing individuals who truly are passionate about creating change and implementing the Kāinga Ora vision for developing new social housing and regenerating neighbourhoods. There’s a very clear end purpose that we’re trying to achieve, and that really comes through everybody’s attitude to work.
Throughout my career I’ve worked in regulation and compliance at Council, I’ve been the NZ Director of the International Erosion Control Association, and I’ve spent the better part of 20 years at Woods, where I’ve predominantly been involved in delivering large-scale greenfield subdivisions. The issues we’re now working through at Piritahi are similar to those I’ve dealt with before, but with the added complexity of working in brownfield areas and interacting with build partners too.
