The Property Council of Australia announces the appointment of Daniel Gannon as retirement living executive director leading its Retirement Living Council (RLC). Gannon, who is currently the Property Council’s South Australian executive director will commence in the role on October 4, following the resignation of former RLC executive director Ben Myers.
“Daniel is a respected and highly experienced executive director, and after eight years of loyal service in SA, we are excited to have him take on this new role within the organisation,” Property Council chief executive Ken Morrison says.
“Daniel brings a pedigree of advocacy success, deep industry knowledge, strong member engagement and a powerful knack for delivering positive outcomes to this national level role.
“I know he’ll hit the ground running, building on the great existing work of the RLC to continue delivering for our members and the industry as a whole,” he adds.
Morrison also thanked the outgoing RLC executive director for his contribution to the organisation over the past six years.
“Ben has led the Retirement Living Council with great professionalism, integrity and strength, and we wish him well for his next adventure,” Morrison says.
As the Property Council’s SA executive director for the past eight years, Gannon has led major public campaigns, built on his significant network, and influenced significant policy decisions affecting the property industry.
"I’m honoured to be taking up this role and continuing my commitment to the property sector through the Retirement Living Council,” Gannon says.
"The senior living industry has a crucial role in delivering housing choice for Australia’s ageing population, and I look forward to driving our advocacy agenda in the interests of our valued members and the Australian community.
“My family actually has a long history of building and managing retirement villages around the country, so I know the industry and its incredible people well,” he adds.
RLC President M-L MacDonald also extended a warm welcome to Gannon, while thanking Myers for his time with the RLC and wishing him well for his future endeavours.
