It is a great pleasure to introduce Property Council’s 2025 governing committees, which were announced on Friday 27 September at the Property Council AGM following a nationwide election process.
These committees are integral to Property Council’s success, with these volunteers helping to shape our advocacy, networking and events. We extend our gratitude to those who put their names forward for nomination (nearly 60 of you!) and congratulate the following individuals, who have been elected to represent their specific region or sector.
We are also excited to announce that Mark Thomson, Chief Commercial Officer at Auckland International Airport has been appointed as our incoming National Board Chair.
Those who have been newly elected or re-elected to the committee are signalled in italics.
