On Friday 3 May Clare Hamilton of Tauranga City Council shared her experience in Land Development – the complexities of the dicipline, and how to better deliver land development projects. Clares presentation was followed by a Q&A session.
Clare fell into the Development Engineering world by accident nearly 10 years ago and hasn’t looked back. She has had the privilege of working in two of the fastest growing districts in New Zealand, firstly at Selwyn District Council as the Development Engineering Manager and now at Tauranga City Council as the Development Engineering and Urban Design Team Leader. Through her experience she understands the technical detail involved in creating assets through consenting, the important stakeholder relationships that need to be built and the overarching processes that tie back to District Plans and the RMA.
She has been on the committee for the Land Development Engineering Special Interest Group that sits within Āpōpō for 9 years and has enjoyed representing this industry over that time. She also co-authored the first Land Development Engineering Digital Badge, LD101 and sat on the National Transition Unit’s Land Development Working Group for Water Services Reform.
