Expert Witness Services

I provide independent expert evidence and technical analysis for VCAT planning matters, specialising in transport infrastructure and planning considerations.

Transport Planning Expertise

With a PhD in Civil Engineering and over 15 years of experience in transport planning, I offer expert witness services for VCAT planning matters involving:

  • Roads and Traffic: Road design, intersection analysis, traffic impact assessments, vehicle access, and traffic management
  • Public Transport: Bus, tram, and train systems, stop locations, route planning, and public transport accessibility
  • Cycling Infrastructure: Bike lanes, shared paths, cycling safety, and bicycle parking
  • Pedestrian Facilities: Footpaths, pedestrian crossings, walkability assessments, and accessibility for people with disabilities
  • Transport Impact Assessment: Analysis of development impacts on transport networks and infrastructure requirements

What I Provide

  • Independent expert reports meeting VCAT requirements
  • Technical analysis and assessment of transport impacts
  • Review of planning applications and transport-related objections
  • Expert evidence at VCAT hearings
  • Response to questions and cross-examination at hearings
  • Clarification of technical matters for tribunal members

My Approach

As an expert witness, I maintain independence and objectivity. My role is to provide the tribunal with honest, evidence-based technical opinion, not to advocate for any particular party. My reports are grounded in professional standards, technical analysis, and my experience with government transport and planning policy.

Government Experience

Having worked with state and federal governments, including advisory roles on transport and land management, I understand the policy context and regulatory frameworks that inform planning decisions. This experience helps me provide expert evidence that addresses the key considerations relevant to VCAT matters.
