The Institute recently met Peter to discuss the branch’s priorities, including further input on the new Planning Scheme, reaching an MOU with the branch and improving coordination of key growth areas, such as Ripley Valley.
Mr Tabulo was the Director of Planning and Development at the neighbouring Somerset Regional Council, a position he held from 2018.
