Fourteen Arup people will contribute to the future direction of the property industry, including policy development and wider advocacy,  through the Property Council of Australia in 2021.

With significant disruption caused by covid-19 and the recession, the industry will face ongoing challenges as well as opportunities to look anew at issues such as liveability and sustainability. 

The 14 people have been selected to serve on a range of committees, both national and state, recognising their professional expertise and personal commitment to the industry’s future.

They will be members of committees covering significant commercial sectors such as cities, commercial offices, residential, industrial lands and education as well as industry-wide areas including infrastructure, future directions and innovations, sustainability and diversity and inclusion.
