Our Journey

Our Story

"Pacific environmental challenges require Pacific-led solutions."

Urban Consultants Fiji was founded on a simple belief:

For decades, environmental consulting within the Pacific has often relied heavily on external expertise. While international knowledge remains valuable, long-term success depends upon combining global best practice with local understanding, cultural awareness and practical implementation experience.

Urban Consultants Fiji was established to provide exactly that balance.

The consultancy brings together experience gained across government leadership, international conservation organisations, regional policy development, climate finance, environmental economics and community-based conservation.

Rather than offering generic consultancy services, Urban Consultants Fiji specialises in solving complex environmental and climate challenges through interdisciplinary thinking.

Whether designing national Nature-based Solutions guidelines, undertaking environmental and social assessments, developing climate finance proposals or facilitating community consultations in remote island communities, our work is driven by a commitment to practical outcomes that endure beyond project completion.

Today, Urban Consultants Fiji supports governments, international development partners and regional organisations across Pacific with specialist advisory services grounded in scientific excellence, partnership and respect for Pacific knowledge systems.

Leadership

Message from the Founder

"Pacific environmental challenges require Pacific-led solutions."

Pacific Island countries are among the world's most environmentally significant yet climate-vulnerable regions. The challenges facing our islands demand solutions that combine scientific excellence with a deep understanding of local culture, governance, ecosystems and community priorities.

Urban Consultants Fiji was established to bridge that gap.

Our small yet solution significant firm brings together international technical expertise, regional policy experience and practical field knowledge to help governments, development partners, private sector organisations and communities make informed environmental decisions.

Our work extends beyond technical consulting. We work alongside communities, government agencies and development partners to co-design practical solutions that strengthen resilience, conserve biodiversity and create sustainable development opportunities.

With a Master's in Urban and Environmental Planning from Griffth University, Australia and having worked over 16 years across government, academia, large international conservation organisations and multiple donor-funded programmes, I have witnessed the importance of combining rigorous science with genuine community ownership. This philosophy underpins every assignment undertaken by Urban Consultants Fiji.

We believe environmental conservation is inseparable from economic development, social inclusion and climate resilience. Every project presents an opportunity to create lasting benefits for both people and nature.

As a Pacific-owned consultancy and a proud Pacific Islander, I am committed to delivering internationally recognised technical standards while remaining grounded in Pacific values, partnerships and local knowledge.

I welcome assignments and look forward to working with governments, regional organisations, development partners and communities to build a more resilient and sustainable Pacific.
