Congratulations to Perth Associate Director Sean Morrison on being awarded the Stan Perron Future Leader of the Year Award at the 2019 Property Council WA’s Future Leader Awards.

Property Council WA’s Future Leaders Awards recognise the efforts of young planners, designers, advisors, managers, surveyors and engineers and those in development and construction, with the overall winner crowned Stan Perron Future Leader of the Year, in honour of the late Stan Perron, an Australian Property Hall of Fame member.

Sean has worked at Urbis since 2008 and contributed to Urbis’ work on the redevelopment of Westfield Stirling (formerly Westfield Innaloo), Dexus’ planned Carillion City redevelopment and the cutting edge P2 data centre for NEXTDC, under construction.

Property Council WA Executive Director Sandra Brewer said Mr Morrison, who also won the planning category, was a powerful advocate for great places, better communities and a more prosperous society achieved through well-designed urban density.
