Consultant

Luke Michael

Clever strategising is part of Luke’s DNA.  Establishing clear objectives and formulating a plan. Being proactive rather than reactive. Adapting as necessary. Important keys to unlocking the planning approvals process.

Successful planners are also motivated, reliable and composed.  Luke learned this early in his career with a boutique consultancy.  This is where he also whet his appetite facilitating a variety of development – industrial, commercial, residential and mixed-use in both metropolitan and regional areas.

Luke then enhanced his experience working at various inner-city, growth-area, peri-urban and coastal Councils. This means he knows how Councils work, what they care about and who to negotiate with. His extensive travel and study tours throughout Asia have also broadened his perspective.

Interested in the entire development life cycle, Luke is currently augmenting his honours degree in planning with part-time post-graduate study in project management.

Luke is enthusiastic and a very sociable person who enjoys both collaborating and leading.  He is an intelligent and creative problem solver who loves a challenge.

He also places great value on strong client relationships – moving from simply being a planning consultant to becoming your trusted planning advisor.
