A trusted industry leader and advocate for the planning profession, Amanda has been instrumental in the growth and development of Place Design Group’s planning expertise and the contribution to many city and regional shaping projects across Australia.
Place Design Group CEO, Beth Toon says, “Amanda continues to drive diversity of thought and leadership throughout Place Design Group. Working across projects such as Waterfront Brisbane Redevelopment, the Cross River Rail Priority Development Areas, award-winning Designing for Density in the Tropics, and the Tasmanian State Government Toward Infill Housing study, Amanda has not only achieved great outcomes at a project level but has also embedded her practice of critical thinking and problem solving throughout our teams.
“We are incredibly fortunate to welcome her into our Director group and lead the strategic direction of our planning capability as we look to the future.”
With a focus on evolving and advancing the technical practice of planning, Amanda has worked across both the private and public sector. She has pioneered ways to test and apply new approaches, whilst driving the enhancement of our cities and regions to meet the needs of future generations.
“I am truly thrilled to take on this new role at Place Design Group. As an Australian owned, international design and planning firm, there is so much we have to offer. I look forward to leading our planning practice to deliver projects and places that celebrate our way of life, embrace our cultural past, and lead us toward a future that is more resilient.”, says Amanda Taylor.
