Property development group Frasers has tapped a company veteran to lead the firm’s development division in NSW.
Cameron Jackson has been appointed as general manager of development in NSW, having spent 24 years of his career at the company.
In announcing the appointment, the developer highlighted some of Mr Jackson’s stand-out achievements over the years, which include his involvement in the design and delivery of Sydney residential projects like Fairwater at Blacktown, Tailor’s Walk at Botany and Midtown MacPark.
Cameron Leggatt, the executive general manager of development at Frasers Property Australia, said the company had led an extensive search to fill the role and had been motivated to promote Mr Jackson into the position after witnessing his track record working on complex, mixed-use developments involving many stakeholders.
“Cameron’s strong experience across design and delivery, will ensure our New South Wales developments continue to deliver high-quality outcomes for our customers and communities,” Mr Leggatt said.
Mr Jackson takes over from Nigel Edgar, who led the firm’s development activities in NSW for the past 12 years. With a long history of service at the company, Mr Edgar now moves to a new position as general manager of national development.
Mr Leggatt noted the contributions of both men to the company in naming Mr Edgar’s successor.
“Cameron has played an instrumental role on some of our most successful projects and I’m excited to be working with him as we look to further grow the business which Nigel has so successfully nurtured,” he said.
On his part, Mr Jackson said he was excited by the opportunity to lead the established team at a pivotal time for the business.
“We have a strong pipeline of large scale, high-quality, mixed-use projects currently underway that will serve as great examples of the strong communities Frasers Property creates,” he said.
Frasers Property Australia is a division of the global firm Frasers Property Limited, headquartered in Singapore, the assets of which were recently valued to be worth approximately $40.9 billion (S$40.3 billion) as of 30 September 2021.
The latest news comes after the company recently broke ground on its first build-to-rent project: a building in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley housing 366 apartments, 145 of which will be discounted thanks to a subsidy from the Queensland government.
The building aims to be carbon-neutral at completion, which aligns with the firm’s commitment to becoming a net zero carbon corporation by 2050.
