Roz is an urban planner who creates socially and environmentally sustainable places with communities. Roz works at the intersection of ‘place’ and displacement, with a foundation in community-led disaster recovery and place-shaping work in New York City, US Virgin Islands, Athens, Greece and Northern Rivers, NSW.
As a Place Manager with City of Parramatta Council she led the design and governance modelling for the public places that cultivate our collective resilience to disaster. Now with WSP Australia’s Infrastructure Advisory team, she coordinates interdisciplinary teams to plan cities that are inclusive, green, and delightful for future generations.
Roz is a board director for Re-Place, which is a space within the Innerwest Sustainability hub dedicated to all things ‘Re’ where community members can get involved in resource recovery collection and sales events, workshops and sustainable markets to reduce, reuse, repair, repurpose, recycle and — mostly importantly — rethink their connection to ‘waste’.
