SPECIALIST MEDIATION
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
PROJECT HEALTH CHECK
Specialist Mediation for Infrastructure and Property
Facilitating Dispute Resolution with Clarity, Credibility, and Care
When infrastructure or property disputes arise, the stakes are often high, delays, reputational risk, financial impacts, and strained relationships.
Mediation offers a cost-effective, confidential, efficient path forward—one that protects interests, preserves relationships, and unlocks practical solutions.
With decades of senior executive experience across infrastructure, planning, valuation, and governance, we bring deep sector knowledge to the mediation table. We understand the language, the context, and the commercial realities involved—whether it’s a contractual dispute, planning impasse, joint venture breakdown, or valuation disagreement.
✓ An independent, impartial mediator with technical fluency in infrastructure and property matters
✓ A process designed to move parties from conflict to resolution
✓ A structured environment for productive dialogue and problem-solving
✓ Confidentiality, professionalism, and tailored to your needs
This isn’t about compromise at any cost, it’s about resolution with integrity.
Why Work With Us?
I’m a nationally accredited mediator with legal, valuation, and project delivery experience. My role is to help you cut through complexity, explore options, and reach agreements that work for you.

Independent Oversight with Strategic Depth
As a Non-Executive Director, I bring over 30 years of senior experience across infrastructure, property, and public value projects, spanning government, private, and not-for-profit sectors.
I provide independent, strategic oversight that balances risk, opportunity, and accountability. My background in law, valuations, governance, and project assurance enables me to bring clarity to complex matters, ask the right questions, and support decision-making that aligns with long-term organisational objectives.
Whether guiding large capital investments, navigating regulatory obligations, or providing critical input into governance, strategy, or performance, I offer a calm, considered presence and a strong commitment to integrity.
✓ Deep experience in infrastructure, asset management, and public sector delivery
✓ Strong understanding of statutory frameworks, fiduciary duties, and audit/risk responsibilities
✓ Experience across board committees, including finance, risk, and capital planning
✓ A collaborative, values-driven approach focused on transparency and performance
With national accreditation in mediation and qualifications from the Australian Institute of Company Directors, I’m equipped to navigate complex dynamics and contribute meaningfully at the board table.
If your organisation values accountability, impact, and forward-thinking governance, I’d welcome a conversation.
