Following its annual general meeting and appointment process, the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has publicly revealed its officeholders and board of directors for the year ahead.
Hayden Groves will remain in the role of president, supported by deputy president Leanne Pilkington and finance, risk and audit committee chair Richard Simpson.
The board has also welcomed Cain Cook from the Real Estate Institute of South Australia, Hannah Gill from the Real Estate Institute of the ACT, and Carol Need from the Real Estate Institute of the Northern Territory.
They join Andrew Bell OAM (additional director), Damian Collins (Real Estate Institute of Western Australia), Ray Ellis (additional director), Adrian Kelly (Real Estate Institute of Tasmania), Leanne Pilkington (Real Estate Institute of NSW) and Richard Simpson (Real Estate Institute of Victoria).
Looking to the year ahead — and reflecting on the leadership team — REIA president Mr Groves said the institute is “delighted” to welcome new and existing members to the board.
He commented: “The REIA board comprised of talented, experienced and influential real estate professionals from every state and territory provides in-depth insights into Australia’s property markets; the ideal platform to deliver balanced advice to all levels of government around housing policies that impact every Australian.”
“As property markets around Australia continue to suffer supply constraints, the REIA’s board is looking forward to exploring policies that help more Australians into affordable homes.”
Flagging the availability of affordable rental properties as “a major challenge as the year unfolds”, he said that property investors would need further encouragement to inject “much-needed supply to the market”.
“That’s why stamp duty reform remains a REIA priority,” he raised.
