  Student Internship

  have had some experience in the public sector during a two week internship at Coffs Harbour City Council where I gained some insight into the role of community consultation in planning developments. I met with landowners, developers and business owners to understand their proposed development and potential issues. I developed planning reports which would require me to work closely with a range of technical specialists including architects, building surveyors and urban designers to collect the information needed and get their input.
