PROPERTY stalwart and Property Council of Australia’s chief executive officer Ken Morrison will leave the organisation at the end of 2022 following eight years in the role.
He will be leaving to pursue other career opportunities.
Morrison has served as CEO since 2014 and has spent a collective 25 years in the organisation, having previously served as chief operating officer and NSW executive director.
Morrison was also previously the CEO of the Tourism and Transport Forum.
National president of the Property Council, David Harrison, said, “Ken has been a tremendous leader of the Property Council over a long period and we wish him well for the future.
“He has helped the industry see itself differently, led our advocacy efforts across a host of issues and navigated the organisation through the pandemic.
“Ken is a leading policy thinker in cities, planning, sustainability and tax – one who knows how to influence governments to get outcomes.
“In particular, the Property Council’s leadership through the depths of the pandemic was outstanding and highly appreciated by members.
“One of the legacies Ken leaves is the industry’s substantial focus on gender and other forms of diversity. While there is still much work to do, this has begun a deep transformation which is having a real impact.”
“It has been a special privilege to lead this organisation, but the time is right for me to step away and pursue other opportunities”. Morrison said.
“It has been immensely rewarding to make a contribution to the policies which help shape our cities and drive our economy. I hope to continue to be able to play a role in our national life in the future.
“My heartfelt thanks to our board, executive and staff team present and past, as well as the great many members who I have learnt so much from over the years.”
A search process for his successor has now commenced.
