Matt Cuthbert is a Town Planner with over 20 years experience working for State and Local Governments which is something he never thought he’d ever write. He currently manages the Planning and Regulatory services unit at the Shire of Augusta Margaret River which makes him someone that people in the community are always pleased to see. He is passionate about retaining the character and natural beauty of the South West landscape which is a biodiversity (and tourist!) hotspot.  When not at work he sneaks off to his property (in the neighbouring Shire!) where he enjoys peaceful solitude and chain sawing.
