This year on WSP's People and Place Podcast, we are introducing a miniseries titled Planning for Natural Hazards, and Dr. Mark Maund, WSP's Planning and Approvals Team Lead for Regional New South Wales and ACT, will be hosting it. Join Mark as he speaks with some brilliant specialists from around Australia who will contribute to the conversation around planning for natural hazards and a better future. In our seventh episode John Brockhoff, National Policy Director at the Planning Institute of Australia, joins Mark to share his knowledge and experience as a planner and how he uses his skills in the public interest to share land in a way that works for an increasingly uncertain future with a changing climate.
