[SOLVED] Django: Could not find the GDAL library (OSX)

After my old macbook died I am transferring across a Django Webapp I'd been building to my new machine (which is a MacBook Pro M1 2021). I am currently in the process of reinstalling the correct packages and extensions for the app.

However I am currently getting the following error when I do python3 manage.py runserver:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not find the GDAL library 
(tried "gdal", "GDAL", "gdal3.3.0", "gdal3.2.0", "gdal3.1.0", 
"gdal3.0.0", "gdal2.4.0", "gdal2.3.0", "gdal2.2.0", "gdal2.1.0", "gdal2.0.0"). 
Is GDAL installed? If it is, try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.

The database I created was through a server on Postgres.app which I believe comes packaged up with PostGIS, GDAL etc.

I have also run pip3 install GDAL and brew install GDAL

I have tried following the geoDjango documentation and I added the following in the terminal:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/14/bin

When I run which psql it returns: /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/14/bin/psql

I can't figure it out.
