THE Property Council of Australia has appointed a new ACT and Capital region executive director in Ashlee Berry.
Berry brings advocacy experience in both the property industry and as a lawyer to the position and has worked as member services director at Master Builders ACT before joining the Property Council.
“Ashlee’s leadership nous, smarts and warmth will position her well as the champion of our city- creating ACT and Capital Region members,” said Mike Zorbas, chief executive at the Property Council.
“Ashlee’s policy experience will make her a formidable advocate for investment in the place making and jobs that will power the next phase of the region’s prosperity.”
“With challenging issues ahead in planning and housing and a territory election in full view, it is a critical time for our sector and for the region more broadly to have a strong voice,” said Phil O’Brien, ACT division president and general manager at Amalgamated Property Group.
“Ashlee’s many skills ensure she will make a positive leadership mark on the future of the city and beyond in this role. Division Council and I are delighted to work with Ashlee and I know she will hit the ground running.”
Berry is set to commence the role in the coming months.
“It will be a privilege to lead conversations that matter deeply to the lives of people in the territory and Capital region,” said Berry.
“I look forward to continuing the positive relationships and solutions-focused work of the Property Council in the ACT and advocating on behalf of our members on essential matters of public policy.”
