“HUHA has grown substantially over the past 10 years. As the demand for our services has escalated so has our need to create new animal care and shelter facilities. The problem we have faced during this period of growth is that although we are a much needed and admired community service provider, no one actually wants to live next to us. Building animal housing facilities is complicated and can be emotive and even fractious. The hoops we need to jump through are daunting and can seem prohibitive, but if you were to ask us for advise around surviving contentious publicly notifiable consents and even environmental court mediation, we would say that there is one tool you must have in your tool kit for success… Monique Leith. As we stepped into a domain we knew very little about Monique was our expert our grafter and our translator. Her experience, professionalism, resourcefulness and passion are present in every conversation and correspondence. We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Monique on several projects, she has remained steadfastly at our side throughout our journey of transition and growth. If I were asked to describe Monique in one word it would be “everything”, as she brings everything to our projects, she handles everything, sorts everything, makes everything possible and quite simply, to us a charity who are constantly overwhelmed and up against it, the comfort and peace of mind she gives us is everything”
