The Board of Landcom, the NSW Government property developer, today announced the appointment of Alex Wendler as the new CEO of Landcom.

Landcom Chair Peter Roberts said the Board believes Alex is an outstanding candidate to drive and deliver Landcom’s strategic plan and lead the business as we embark on a new chapter in the organisation’s history. 

“Alex is an established leader in the property and infrastructure industry with experience in both the public and private sector,” Mr Roberts said.

“Landcom is part of the fabric of NSW having delivered more than 100,000 homes in its 45-year history.

“I want to continue to build on Landcom’s strengths while at the same time levering my skills in the public and private spheres to make a difference.

“Tackling the issues of housing supply, affordability, and diversity will require partnerships across Government and with the private sector and it is important we maintain the momentum already underway.

“I also want to continue the focus on great places that are sustainable, integrated, and walkable whilst seeking innovations that strengthen outcomes for our customers and the property sector.

“We are in a period of significant technological, environmental and social change, and I look forward to ensuring Landcom remains at the forefront of the industry.”
