Emma is the owner and Director of ERA Planning and Environment, a multi-disciplinary consulting firm providing services in Tasmania and Victoria. Emma started ERA in early 2012 after leading the preparation of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy through the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority. In just over a decade, ERA has grown from a single person business to a highly respected, multi-skilled community of planning and environmental practitioners who are passionate about Tasmania and our place in the world. ERA’s services extend across strategic and statutory planning in the land use, development, recreation and tourism sectors, environmental assessments and approvals, and community and stakeholder engagement. As Director, Emma provides direction and oversight on all ERA commissions.

She has strong communication and leadership skills and enjoys problem solving, working as part of a team, and supporting employees and colleagues to achieve great outcomes.

She has strong financial literacy skills developed through building a successful small business.
