Deb Robbins
National Director at KPMG

I’m National Director in the Planning and Design Team, based in Brisbane, with extensive experience across the design and built environment sector.

My background spans landscape architecture, urban design, sustainability, site planning, design management, and feasibility, and I work at a national level to shape strategy, guide teams, and support the delivery of complex bids & projects across varied contexts and scales.

I’m particularly interested in how good planning and design can contribute meaningfully to place - balancing environmental responsibility, community outcomes, and commercial realities. My approach is collaborative and strategic, with a strong emphasis on clear communication, sound judgement, and building trust with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams.

I am a member of the B2032 Working Group, contributing as the Tourism, Arts and Environment Lead, and bring this perspective into broader conversations about culture, place based identity, and long term legacy.

I hold a Bachelor of Built Environment in Landscape Architecture and a Graduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture from Queensland University of Technology, and I continue to be motivated by projects that create long term value through thoughtful, well integrated planning and design.
