The Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) has announced the addition of a new board director based in Perth.
Managing director of Capital Property Advisory and Qualified Property Investment Adviser (QPIA), Matthew Hughes, has been unanimously elected to PIPA’s board of directors.
PIPA chair, Nicola McDougall, highlighted that Hughes’ longstanding passion for wealth creation through property investment, and previous experience across real estate and mortgage broking make him an ideal addition to the board.
“Matthew not only epitomises the high degree of experience and qualifications of our members, but his appointment ensures that our association can continue to grow in every corner of the country,” McDougall said.
This new board appointment also follows the resignation of former PIPA board director and chair Peter Koulizos at the end of the last year after his near decade long tenure as a voluntary board member.
McDougall described Koulizos as a “role model for the wider industry” and said he has been a “steadfast supporter to many current and former board members, including myself as chair”.
“On behalf of the PIPA board of directors, I would like to thank Peter for his many years of service as well as being the former PIPA chair during a period of strong growth for the association,” McDougall said.
Hughes shared it was an incredible honour to join the PIPA board of directors, and said that the organisation’s “commitment to promoting ethical, sustainable, and well-informed investment aligns strongly with my own values”.
In his new role, Hughes said that he looks forward to “advocating for higher standards in the industry, supporting investor education, and ensuring that property professionals adhere to best practices”.
“By working alongside my fellow board members, I hope to contribute to PIPA’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the importance of qualified independent advice,” Hughes said.
“Together, we can continue to shape a more transparent and professional property investment landscape in Australia,” he concluded.
