Current Employment iDEC (Pty) Ltd
Position Director
Profession Town & Regional Planner
Qualifications BA Town & Regional Planning
Years of Experience 20 Years
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
My experience has been gained over a period of more than 20 years where I worked both within the
Public and Private Sector on a wide range of statutory, as well as strategic planning projects. For the
first part of my career I worked as Town Planner within the City Council of Pretoria and during the
second part, acted as Director and Senior Planner at a Town Planning and Civil Engineering
Consultancy founded by myself and my husband (a qualified Civil Engineer) working in Swaziland,
Mozambique and South Africa.
As Town Planner at the City Council of Pretoria, I was tasked primarily with statutory planning and
land use management assignments, where I evaluated land-use applications submitted to the Council.
Due to my position, I liaised often and acted as interface between the General Public (residents and
developer alike) and the Local Authority. As Pretoria is a City hosting more than 2,5 million people, I
formed part of an extensive team of planners, technicians and administrative personnel. During those
early years, I gained valuable experience from the mentorship provided by my co-workers and the
team at large. This knowledge obtained from my time working at the Council of Pretoria, provided a
solid foundation for later involvement in private practice and my understanding of governmental
expectations with regards to development control and statutory planning procedures, etc.
As private sector consultant (see * Swaziland on next page), I had the opportunity to work on a wide
range of projects from national through to urban level, which enhanced my field of expertise
immensely. Projects included the development of various Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) at
Provincial, Regional, District and Precinct level through to conducting assignments at local level
through the development of Town Planning Schemes, Precinct Development Plans and Local Layout
Plans (Township Establishment), working both for government bodies and private entities. All these
projects included comprehensive background research, data-processing, data-interpretation and
statistical analysis, visual output (mapping), strategy formulation and extensive liaison at all levels and
with various disciplines.

* Swaziland a small land-locked monarchy covering an area of approximately 17,000km² and home to
around 1 million people. The country is divided into four, almost equally sized regions, of which my
firm was appointed to conduct three of the four Regional Physical Development Plans – i.e.
comprehensive Integrated Development Plans, aiming to enhance through land use planning,
economic, social and environmental integration and optimization.
PROFESSIONAL STRENGTHS
My Professional Strengths can be summarized as follows:
As a Town & Regional Planner, my professional experience is all-inclusive as I have worked on
both sides of the fence: from evaluation of proposals to comply with set regulations and best
planning practice within the Public Sector, to delivering outcomes and solutions within the Private
Sector to comply as such. I thus have a full comprehension of challenges faced on complex
matters whilst striving to meet time-frames and budgetary requirements.
The years as a planner challenged my Technical Capabilities immensely as it required creative
thinking whereby I had to produce, often under pressure, site and situation specific solutions to
sometimes complex situations.
I furthermore acted as Project Coordinator and Team Leader on almost all of the projects
conducted, and was tasked with the coordination of various multi-disciplinary teams with the aim
to achieve holistic yet synergized outputs.
Being well-versed with MS Office Suit, I was primarily responsible for quality assurance,
professional packaging and presentation of deliverables to clients.
I am an accomplished Presenter and Facilitator as I was in almost all instances tasked with the
organizing of workshops from workshop programmes to preparation of workshop material as well
as the facilitation and presentation thereof. Some of these workshops were attended by up to one
hundred delegates and stakeholders, from grassroots, to technocrats, to politicians and this honed
my ability to effectively and strategically influence pre-perceived ideas and thus support the cause
of my clients;
With 20-years of planning experience behind me, I am confident that I understand the planning
discipline in-depth, from the universally derived legislative frameworks through to the fundamental
planning principles.
My Personal Attributes can be summarized as follows:
Honest, Hard-working and Enthusiastic
Respectful, Friendly and a Team Player
CAREER OBJECTIVES
My career objectives can be summarized as follows:
Page 3 of 32
Leadership: As team leader and project coordinator my aim is to provide well-versed and clear
guidance to colleagues and multi-disciplinary task-team members alike, finding it imperative to
brainstorm complex and challenging situations and to furthermore respond positively and
respectful to ideas and input presented by others, even if I do not necessarily agree. As mediator
between general public and the authorities, I strive to be a sensitive listener and to respond by
providing accurate information and helpful advice.
Technically: In my technical capacity I strive towards improving my skills as far as possible
through my day-to-day work experiences (on-the-job-training), learning from my mentors,
attending courses and applying self-development strategies such as research. I furthermore strive
to provide quality, timely and technically accurate outputs.

Page 5 of 32
- Assisting the Managing Director with the drafting of contractual agreements between
clients and sub-consultants, as well as formulating Assignment Programs through the use
of MS Project, whereby aspects such as commencement dates, milestones and resource
allocation are being indicated.
- Assisting the Managing Director with sourcing, evaluation and procurement of sub-
consultants such as Environmentalists, Geotechnical Engineers, Land Surveyors,
Economists, Architects, etc. as required on multi-disciplinary project / assignments.
- Preparing Tenders encompassing Technical Proposals which highlights my
understanding of the assignment objectives and subsequently proposing through a
comprehensive Technical Approach and Methodology (Work Plan & Programme) how
assignments will be carried out to meet targets and assignment objectives timely and
accurately. In addition to this, I subsequently also submitted comprehensive Financial
Proposals, highlighting resource allocation and determined cost of each phase when
conducting the assignment. This process often required preliminary research in order to
determine the dynamics under which the assignment needs to be carried out.
- Acting as Marketing Agent for the firm, by developing all marketing material being used
for submission of tenders / proposals and business promotion. These include the
development and updating of amongst others Company Profiles, Business Cards and
Curricula Vitae through the use of programmes such as MS Word, PowerPoint and
Publisher.
- Supporting the technical division (CAD and GIS technicians) and data capturing division
(surveyors, field workers and data capturers) including junior planners and student
planners (as appointed by the firm) on a daily basis by providing clear directives for tasks
and expected outputs. In addition to this, evaluated outputs provided and make
recommendations towards amendments when necessary. Monitor quality and accuracy of
technical output.
- Coordinate and develop procedures and materials for various surveys conducted by the
firm, including Land Use Surveys (maps and forms), Traffic Surveys (tally tables), Social
& Demographic Surveys (questionnaires). Plan and coordinate these excursions (which
often encompass the logistic arrangement of various teams, spread out over various
locations at once, often conducted over a number of days). Prepare and train personnel
in regards to expected timeframes and outputs required. Appoint team leaders and
coordinate survey activities. Align survey material with data capturers in order to ensure
the effective, accurate and timely processing and analysis of data. (Note: As Swaziland
lacks a central source of baseline statistical information with information being limited,
unreliable and often outdated, the gathering of relevant up-to-date information usually
Page 6 of 32
forms an enormous part of assignments undertaken, specifically for the development of
strategic plans at regional but also at urban level. As I believe firmly on working from a
platform of being completely informed, (hence the moto: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t
manage it)”, obtaining data through surveys always formed a prominent part of many
projects that I have been involved in.)
- Conducting statistical interpretation and utilizing these as valuable information platforms
when formulating proposals and strategies for assignments.
- Advice landowners and developers seeking advice on the development of their property
with regards to development opportunities / possibilities, physical and environmental
attributes prevalent on their property and the potential impacts development as such

implementation thereof. Advice was thus from both a Statutory as well as Strategic point
of view.
- Making informed decisions when formulation of policies, strategies and development
proposals, through determining the impact and implications of proposals on the built and
