Urbis is delighted to announce the appointment of Matthew Schneider as the new Director of Planning at its Gold Coast office.
Matthew is a respected town planning consultant, strategic advisor and project director. He has established a strong reputation for converting complex statutory frameworks into efficient and realistic planning strategies. Although his practice and experience extends across Queensland and New South Wales, he is focused on leading the Gold Coast planning industry.
Furthermore, as the previous Principal and Office Manager of Cardno HRP’s Gold Coast office, Matthew has significant experience in not only leading project teams but also demonstrating strong business acumen to deliver year-on-year record growth.
“I have always admired Urbis as an organisation and believe this is the best time to take a strategic step towards growing its practice on the Gold Coast. I am excited to lead this charge and share in the company’s confidence and vision for this city,” said Mr Schneider.
“Opportunities available in the Gold Coast market are significant. With record activity in the residential market, a number of major infrastructure projects in the pipeline, as well as job and tourism boosts expected from the 2018 Commonwealth Games, I am looking forward to playing an important role in turning these opportunities into successful projects for Urbis,” he added.
Urbis Queensland Regional Director Peter Hyland believes Matthew’s leadership and experience will further drive the growing Gold Coast practice and provide new opportunities to expand its activities and impact in the Gold Coast community.
“We have a close affinity with the Gold Coast and believe in its potential as a thriving cosmopolitan city. As we continue to experience growth in this region, we are delighted to have Matthew with us to lead the way in building an even stronger presence to service our local clients and deliver some of the biggest city-shaping projects,” said Mr Hyland.
Urbis is excited to welcome Matthew to the Planning team and the Gold Coast office, and is confident of the successful future ahead.
