About

Regional Innovation - Queensland (CRRI-Q). She has undertaken a wide range of activities in rural and regional planning. Her recent focus has been on Landscape Planning, Rural and Regional Development, Local Economic Development and Community Development.

The projects include The Field and New Forms of Green. The Field is a food and fibre project about making connections between agricultural innovation and sustainability between producer and consumer between rural and urban. It is the areas close to the major cities in Australia which present clear challenges for the future - contested spaces of good agricultural land, competing water demands and urban development. New Forms of Green focuses on innovative forms of land tenure and of land and water uses, through 'unusual' combinations of emerging agriculture, ecosystem services and water products.
