Mr Bruhn, a former executive at Villa World and Lend Lease, started at QAL on August 1.
Mr Bruhn was responsible for delivering new developments, predominantly in Queensland, for Gold Coast-based developer Villa World and with Lend Lease was involved in the Varsity Lakes masterplanned community, one of Australia’s most awarded masterplanned communities, from its inception.
He joins QAL with experience in mixed use precincts, non-residential land
development, project/construction management, design management, community development and
master planning.
QAL boss Chris Mills said Mr Bruhn, in a newly created role, will be responsible for delivering a large program of works across the QAL Group over coming years
“We have exciting plans for our airports and Carl has a great track record in delivering results,” Mr Mills said.
Mr Bruhn said: “It’s a great time to come on board with QAL. Leading a team of 22 staff, we will deliver key projects across the group, all of which play an integral role in shaping the future of the business.”
His appointment follows the recent acquisition of the old Tweed Heads drive-in site as part of Gold Coast Airport’s property strategy which looks at future land use on and off airport.
Plans for the parcel of land are yet to be released.
Other QAL Group development projects under way or due to start include:
* $300 million redevelopment of Gold Coast airport.
