It’s just 2 months since the launch of our new Perth office in Australia and already the work is flowing in.
Based in St Martins Tower with stunning views of the Perth skyline, our busy new base is headed up by directors Tanya Moran and Tim Judd, who are both buzzing about bringing the PJA brand to the West Coast of Australia.
“We have certainly hit the ground running, with a lot of redevelopment, urban regeneration and densification work coming through,” says Tanya. “We have also just won a best practice guidance update to pedestrian related treatments across Australia and New Zealand, embedding our focus on designing for people to enable great places. We are both so excited to be part of the PJA team and continue the decades of hard work invested into the business.”
Tim and Tanya’s role is to lead on the delivery of PJA’s transport planning, infrastructure and placemaking solutions to public and private sector clients, while growing PJA in Australia alongside our Melbourne office.
Both are transport planning specialists with stellar CVs. Between them they have managed transport planning for some of Australia’s biggest developments, worked on autonomous vehicle trials and successfully advocated for more active travel in the country to help boost physical and mental health.
They began working together in 2016 at Australian transportation planning and engineering consultancy GTA Consultants where they were awarded the ‘Significant Contribution to Planning’ title for their efforts in pushing the boundaries on safe street designs.
With Western Australia seeing significant population growth, Tim and Tanya’s priority is that new places and infrastructure are designed to be safe, healthy and comfortable enough for people to connect with and want to call ‘Home’.
“We are really excited to provide Australia with the combination of our transport skillset and PJA’s placemaking expertise. Our aim is that the Perth office will provide highly regarded, ‘go -to’ advice and technical assistance on projects geared to creating new homes and communities for people, and we want to build a team of like- minded, self- driven people to come on the journey with us.”
