Fender Katsalidis Partner Rob Mirams’ unique skillset will be utilised by the Urban Development Institute of Australia’s (UDIA) NSW chapter, confirmed as an appointment to the Institute’s Transport-oriented Development and Local Town Centres committee.

Regarded as a deep thinker by his peers, Mirams’ built-form narratives are embedded with a deep sense of place, engaging with culture, history and philosophy. Recent projects overseen by Mirams include the Central Station Precinct Masterplan, FK’s reimagining of George Place in Sydney and Garangula Gallery in rural NSW.

Mirams says he hopes to bring his experience, insights, expertise and skills into this committee, to deliver informed solutions to the NSW Government.

“The UDIA is a proactive organisation championing positive development outcomes. It is a great honour to join the Urban Renewal committee and collaborate with enlightened professionals to find ways to enhance our planning system and the built environment,” he says. 

Nathan Boulous, Southern Regional and Research Manager at Urban Development Institute of Australia, says he is delighted to welcome Mirams onto the Committee.

“The UDIA NSW Committee program is the cornerstone of our organisation’s policy development and advocacy. Committee members play crucial roles in supporting our policy submissions, research, and strategic reports, and are our first contact point for keeping our platform relevant and up to date,” he says.

“We are looking forward to working closely with Rob Mirams on our Urban Renewal, Build-to-rent, Transport-oriented Development and Local Town Centres Committee, as he helps UDIA shape our advocacy in these sectors of growing significance to the NSW development industry.”
