Carla is highly experienced having worked on the evolution of the North West and South West Growth Areas of Sydney.

She is also proud of her contribution setting the framework and guiding development for the revitalisation of numerous town centres across Western Sydney, both in Fairfield and Canterbury Local Government Areas (LGA), as well as renewal corridors in Newcastle LGA.

One of the great benefits for the community is having provided Sydneysiders greater options for housing.

“It’s really satisfying to see that friends and family who have purchased homes in these areas are comfortable and happy with the lifestyles and amenity offered by these new communities.” Says Carla. 

 

Having Carla join Urbis has brought a new energy which is inspiring all around her. The depth and breadth of her expertise, complemented by the level of innovation she displays to her work and the team is having a profound positive impact.
