Place Design Group is excited to announce the appointment of Catherine Gallagher as a Director and Board Member.
As former CEO of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, Ms Gallagher has held key leadership roles in national and international place-making, urban renewal, precinct and asset management sectors.
Place Design Group Chairman Ian Klug AM, says that the appointment will further cement the planning and design consultancy’s long serving market presence in New South Wales.
“Strengthening opportunities both in Sydney and across the state has prompted the acceleration of our strategic direction in Sydney”, Mr Klug said.
“We have identified New South Wales as a significant area for further growth and Catherine’s appointment will play a critical role in assisting us to bring our strategic direction to life”.

Having contributed to the design and planning of great places in New South Wales for more than 15 years, Place Design Group’s team boasts an impressive portfolio of work such as the Dee Why Town Centre Masterplan, Narellan Town Centre, Queanbeyan CBD Masterplan, and key UGNSW projects Thornton, Caddens, Bunya, and Potts Hill.
Further abroad, the Sydney team have delivered leading projects across China, South East Asia, and the Middle East. It is this international experience combined with local planning and design practice that has become a winning formula for their steady acquisition of quality work across the state.
“Catherine’s role as a Board Director will help develop new opportunities and relationships for the company in New South Wales and abroad, specifically across strategic planning, community consultation and strategic communications projects – areas where we are experiencing a significant uptake”, Mr Klug said.
