WSP Australia

This year on WSP’s People and Place Podcast, we are introducing a miniseries titled Planning for Natural Hazards, and Dr. Mark Maund, WSP's Planning and Approvals Team Lead for Regional New South Wales and ACT, will be hosting it. Join Mark as he speaks with some brilliant specialists from around Australia who will contribute to the conversation around planning for natural hazards and a better future. In our first episode Bernadette Quirk, WSP Graduate, Environment & Planning, joins to share her perspective as an emerging professional in the planning and approvals space. Bernadette and Mark discuss the impact of climate change and natural hazards on communities, and the role planning plays in designing and preparing our communities for a better future.
