Ian Bayliss | Senior Consultant | Full Member of NZPI | BA MPlan Prac
I care deeply about our unique and beautiful environment which I love to spend time in trail running, mountain biking and fishing. Drawing from my experience doing planning in Sydney, London, Bristol, Auckland I specialise in smart urban planning that promotes human thriving and a positive legacy for the future.
Working as a council planner, a consultant planner, and as a planning manager for QLDC has given me a strong understanding of what makes for good plan development, plan drafting and planning evidence and how to work successfully with council processes. I am a MFE certified RMA commissioner with strong technical understanding of resource management related legislation.
