Bachelor of Planning
James Williams is a qualified town planner. He graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Planning degree from James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville, North Queensland. His studies involved several practical courses, including Indigenous Environmental Management, Environmental and Regional Planning, and Urban Design. James has over six years of experience within the private sector. Prior to joining Precinct Urban Planning in early 2019, he worked as a Planner for a building certification company in Townsville. In addition to assessing proposed developments in rural and regional Queensland against relevant planning requirements, this position enabled him to understand and implement relevant building legislation, such as the Building Act 1975 and the Queensland Development Code. Since joining the Precinct team, James has gained a wealth of knowledge by working on a range of developments, from small-scale uses such as Airbnbs, dwellings, and offices to large-scale projects such as poultry farms, schools, and community facilities. He has also been involved in assisting local governments with the assessment of various types of Development Applications. From this experience, James has developed the knowledge necessary to provide accurate and succinct planning advice for a wide range of residential, commercial, industrial, and rural projects in council regions across Queensland, New South Wales, and Western Australia. In addition, James has worked on projects of regional and state significance, including Ministerial and Local Government Infrastructure Designations for the redevelopment of the Toowoomba Hospital and other large -scale projects such as health facilities, schools, electricity infrastructure and dams.
