Richard Pappas has been appointed as president as the Urban Development Institute of Australia WA president, as the outgoing head moves onto a national role.
Mr Pappas, managing director of Celsius Property Group, formally assumes the position today at UDIA’s AGM.
He has come into the job at a time where the industry group is expanding its remit to incorporate a broader spectrum of housing typologies.
