A major projects specialist and trained journalist, Dominic began his career in the House of Commons as a parliamentary aide to a prominent cabinet minister. Since leaving Parliament he has specialised in helping public and private sector organisations to prepare for and handle issues of major public impact.
Dominic’s skills lie in engaging and managing a broad range of stakeholders – including local communities, politicians and the media – to promote understanding and dialogue around complex and often controversial planning and development projects.

His most recent work has focused on two large-scale infrastructure projects – the M5 corridor expansion, and the Brisbane Airport Link and Northern Busway.
