SENIOR CONSULTANT

Jake Vaccarella

Jake Vaccarella

One of the first things you notice about Jake is his presence – friendly and self-assured. This is underpinned by a real dedication to work making him a leader in our development team and a popular member of the planning community.

Jake is business-minded. This means he understands the time, challenges and costs associated with undertaking development from start to finish. He knows the value of quick and certain planning approvals. His extensive experience in Local Government is a key asset in this regard.

Because he is a people pleaser, Jake gets a real kick out of delivering on a promise for a client. This is especially so when challenged by a complex development proposal where the solution may not be immediately obvious.

Jake thrives on being organised. The fact his desk is always neat is a window to how he thinks and behaves. This, combined with a reputation for being a pleasure to deal with, is why he is one of South Australia’s emerging planning leaders.
