Consultant Urban Planner

Carmel is a dedicated and passionate urban planner who balances technical analysis and practical skills to achieve people-focused outcomes across strategic, statutory and infrastructure planning.

Carmel joined Mesh in 2024 as a Graduate Planner and has since expanded her skill set and experience as a Consultant Planner. She has developed a diverse range of abilities across strategic, statutory and infrastructure planning and has contributed to a wide variety of projects throughout both Victoria and South Australia.​

Her journey into urban planning was inspired by a nine-month volunteer trip across Latin America and Asia, during which she worked in community outreach and support programs. This experience fuelled her aspirations in strategic and infrastructure planning.​
