Alex Hunt joined Brighton Council six months ago, following a career at JMG and studies in Civil Engi­neering. As a Development Engi­neer, Alex assesses development and subdivision applications from an engineering perspective, ensur­ing that pipework and road designs are appropriate and consider flood risk.

Alex appreciates the opportunity to think strategically at Brighton Council, enjoying the challenge of improving infrastructure for community benefit. He hopes to do more long-term planning of the road and stormwater infrastruc­ture in key areas of development within the Brighton municipality.

Alongside his career, Alex is also an accomplished athlete. He recently won New Zealand’s Coast to Coast race, a challenging multisport event that traverses the South Island from the west to east coast. The race has been running for 43 years, with only one other Australian ever winning! Alex has competed in the event seven times over the past nine years, dedicat­ing up to two months of training in New Zealand to prepare.

When he’s not at work or winning races, Alex finds balance in his daily training sessions, spend­ing time with his daughter, and sharing coffee with his partner. Whether tackling infrastructure challenges or crossing finish lines, Alex remains dedicated and moti­vated to keep improving.
