Queensland Health’s $14 billion ‘Big Build’ is a hot topic - being the biggest capital investment in health in Queensland history. @propertycouncil Queensland's breakfast ‘Building Queensland’s Health Future’ was a sold-out event. As the sponsor of the Queensland Breakfast Series, RCP Managing Director Greg Atkinson welcomed keynote speaker Priscilla Radice, Deputy Director-General, Health Capital Division, Queensland Government. Priscilla provided informative insight into to how they are planning to deliver 2,200 additional beds between 2024 and 2028, followed by a lively panel discussion.

RCP Australia’s director Ian Kerr, is sailing off into the sunset… literally. On 28 June, Ian is retiring from RCP to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of the Noosa Shire Hinterland, with a big shed and a modest sailboat to explore the Noosa everglades. Ian would have liked to have gone with minimal fanfare, which he has managed to so far, but we couldn’t let him go without making it ‘LinkedIn official.’ With 48 years in the property and construction industries and more than half his working life at RCP, Ian has been a favourite amongst staff, clients, contractors, and his industry peers. Ian… we will miss your cheery disposition, surprise Weiss Bar and Cherry Ripe treats, your informative ‘historic Brisbane’ emails and your proclamation of “wizardry!” on discovering new marvels of modern invention. Go well Ian!
