Joe is valued for his strong knowledge of the Australian water sector, and ability to provide direct and compelling insights and advice through clear communication and writing. From detailed analysis of water markets, policy, governance, pricing and regulation, to managing major government reviews and facilitating the development of national reform priorities and actions, Joe tackles difficult projects with a steady and confident approach.

Since joining Aither, Joe has managed many of Aither’s larger projects including wide-reaching reviews on water markets, water policy and social and economic conditions across the Murray-Darling Basin. Recently, Joe has worked closely with leaders of state and territory water departments in Australia to develop a national framework for advancing the urban water sector.
