The Urban Developer

Joining the Urbanity-26 stage this July: Bianca Durack, chief financial officer and co-founder of Durack Civil.

A civil engineer who helped build a national contracting business from the ground up, Durack is proof that the people who understand how infrastructure gets built are often best placed to reimagine what gets built.

With more than 15 years delivering projects across Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory through Durack Civil, she has since expanded into property development as co-owner of Boldstone, creating place-led communities designed for long-term growth on the Gold Coast.

At Urbanity-26, Durack will join the panel on the Gold Coast's reshaping from tourism city to lifestyle destination.

Joining the Urbanity-26 stage this July: Angela Bonnefin, founder and director of Retail Strategy Group.

Bonnefin has spent her career at the intersection of retail development and placemaking, with her firm having delivered retail master plans across more than $20 billion of Australian development. Her projects span mixed-use, build-to-rent, transport, education, hotel and residential precincts.

Recent work includes the retail vision for the New Sydney Fish Markets and the Rozelle Village precinct in Sydney's inner west.

At Urbanity-26, Bonnefin will join the panel on the magnetic power of human-led precincts and how retail strategy builds the places people actually want to be.
