The Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) welcomes the appointment of Romilly Madew as Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Australia.

In her time as leader of the Green Building Council of Australia, Romilly has been a longstanding champion of ASBEC and served as ASBEC’s Vice President for several years.   In her former role as Chair of ASBEC’s Cities Task Group, Romilly led a strong agenda for more sustainable, resilient, liveable and productive cities and regions.

“Romilly has driven a movement in sustainable buildings that has paved the way for better Australian cities, precincts and communities.” said ASBEC President Professor Ken Maher AO.

“As a change agent advancing a better built environment, Romilly has brought international acclaim to Australia’s green building sector. Her deep engagement across the built environment sector will also contribute greatly to the necessary integration of infrastructure and urban development.”

ASBEC is a strong supporter of Infrastructure Australia’s role as independent advisor to the Australian Government.

“With the right level of engagement and transparency, Infrastructure Australia’s mandate to prioritise and progress nationally significant infrastructure can help to deliver greater productivity, increased resilience, better environmental outcomes and a higher and more equitable standard of living for all Australians.” said Prof Maher. “With her outstanding vision, drive and expertise, Romilly is exquisitely positioned to lead this endeavour.”
