Joshua Skinner

Josh combines his practical approach with extensive experience as a development advisor to offer insightful, commercially minded and tailored planning policy solutions.

With a track record of managing complex development projects, he knows how to drive teams, synthesise information and deliver results in a timely fashion.

Josh has done it all – from successfully appearing in the ERD Court, consulting for metro and rural Councils, and facilitating developments as wide ranging as high-rise apartment complexes, to peri-urban industrial facilities, to major tourism projects in regional locations. This enables him to understand statutory requirements and to find outcomes which balance commercial and community interests.

He is highly regarded by the private and public sectors for his thoughtful, clear and accurate advice. People trust his knowledge and the confidence he exudes to solve planning problems with little fuss.

Our clients have come to enjoy his determination as well as his ability to ‘cut-through’ complex issues with clear and articulate reporting.
