A disciplined and hardworking member of element’s Planning Team, James is responsible for navigating the complexities of Western Australia’s statutory framework. He works to facilitate exemplar-built form and land outcomes through detailed planning and early engagement with government bodies across a variety of industry sectors.

James is inspired by big cities such as London, Berlin and Tokyo that he feels get transport planning and surrounding land use right.
