Queensland Division. Primary work involved the inspection and valuation
of various properties throughout Queensland for the Social Security
and Veteran Affairs asset test. Property types regularly encountered
included vacant, residential, englobo, special use, industrial,

was directly involved with valuations for -: Q build (Qld Government
Housing), Defence Department, Telstra, Westpac, Qld Forest Service,

Paul's broad valuation
experience has allowed him to build a large network of personnel
throughout Queensland. He has a good understanding of all levels
of government and the ability to draw on an extensive information
base.
Paul believes his strength lies in his passion for the Bay Islands,
his ability to relate to the people who choose to live there and
his determination to meet clients specific requirements through
a sound, reconcilable, market approach to property reporting.
