Bio
Brett Skyring
Gary and I are colleagues on the National Council for the Planning Institute of Australia. I have found Gary to be passionate about planning and organisational leadership, with a quick brain and great sense of timing for both humour and insightful comment. Teamwork and his ability to remain objective in his assessment of the issues under consideration are two of his strongest attributes.

I worked briefly at PB with Gary as part of the same office. I found Gary to be extremely personable, professional and very competent as a planner. He has the ability to think strategically but also ensure that the advice provided is easily understood for non - planners. He is a good team player and someone who I would look forward to working with again in the future.
