Judy Lambert
Judy Lambert
The experience Judy gained in more than a decade of work as a research scientist has been applied to policy development, the preparation of analytical and policy papers and liaison with a diverse range of conservation and resource use interests.
Many years working in a liaison position in Canberra and as Environmental Consultant to a Federal Environment Minister have ensured that Judy is very familiar with the federal public service and political processes. Her more recent Local Government experience is also invaluable in addressing urban sustainability.
Her early life on a farm still sees Judy taking a particular interest in rural resource management and bridging the gap between producers, scientists, governments and the community.

After 14 very rewarding years of operation with Community Solutions, Jane stepped down as co-director and shareholder during 2007.
Judy continues to run Community Solutions as a business specialising in providing services for sustainable living. Community Solutions continues to work with both urban and rural communities to enhance social and environmental outcomes, but the emphasis of our work is on research and policy at the interface between social and environmental outcomes. Natural resource management remains a primary focus, together with interests in urban communities.
From time to time, Community Solutions works collaboratively with Jane Elix Consulting. In this way we continue to bring together Judy's research and policy expertise (particularly as they relate to primary production and biodiversity conservation, but also to urban sustainability) with Jane's outstanding skills in facilitation, consensus building and multi-party dispute resolution www.janeelix.com
