I have been working in the EIA field since 1990 including:
- 10 years as a manager and assessment officer with the WA Environmental Protection Authority;
- Two years as the independent Appeals Convenor in WA advising the Minister for the Environment;
- Ten years researching and teaching EIA at Curtin University;
- A member of the International Association of Impact Assessment for 18 years (current); and
- Member of the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand Special Interest Group on Impact Assessment (current);
During that time I have written on a range if EIA related matters and developed a significant training and teaching set of resources. Below is a list of the key research and other publications I have carried out. The last link is a work in progress - chapters of a text book on the practice and theory of EIA in support of the teaching EIA:
- Review of the use of offsets in EIA in WA;
- Issues in the use of offsets;
- Timeliness of EIAs in WA; and
- Learning and EIA - A series of practice notes introducing the practice and theory of EIA
As well, I have organised a series of national forums on impact assessment. Below are links to the presentations that were presented at the 2017 and 2018 forums:
