sustainable issues. She has monitored and evaluated central, regional and
local government environmental policy. Experience in an Environmental
Consultancy adds to her research capability in Marine Resource Management
and interest in community development issues relating to industrialised and
rural coastlines, which combined with professional property experience
enables her to add significant value in land, real estate and community
development.
Summary of FIG involvement
Diane’s professional background places her in a
position to communicate and network in international fora presenting at
numerous conferences. Diane's activity in FIG has grown over the past six
years. During the period 1995/98 Diane was approached by Comm. 7 (Paul
Munro-Faure) to join a working group to contribute her specialist knowledge
in CZM. This culminated in presenting a paper in Brighton in 1998.
In 2000, at the request of the RICS delegation she
presented in Comm. 9, case studies in land and property regeneration.
Following which she was asked to chair for the final year, a Comm. 8 working
group: Megacities. The output was presented in 2001.
With the appointment of a new Commission 8 chair,
Diane was invited to become RICS Comm. 8 delegate as well as vice chair of
8.3. Drawing on Diane’s expertise in regeneration development and coastal
issues, her working group concentrates on informal housing in marginal
boundary areas of large cities and along coasts.
Since 2004 Diane has been the Chair of FIG Commission
