INTRODUCTION Wendy has worked in the development industry for the last 20 years – 5.5 of those in town planning and the majority of the rest as a senior associate at top ten legal firms specialising in planning and environmental law. She is the current Queensland President of the Planning Institute of Australia and a Development Tribunal referee. Wendy has developed a niche practice in statutory planning. Her experience has included the legal review of various local planning instruments and the creation of standard conditions packages, as well as secondment experience providing legal advice for the Queensland Government. Wendy’s hard earned credentials have given her a distinct advantage over her peers, particularly when advising on development transactions. She acts from project conception and development application structuring through to approval procurement, infrastructure agreement negotiations and court appeals. Before commencing her legal career in 2005, Wendy practiced as a town planner. In that role she gave expert witness evidence in court, bringing a practical and commercial edge to her law career in planning that is unmatched by any other planning lawyer. This, combined with her tremendous enthusiasm and passion, makes Wendy Evans a formidable legal ally.
