The Capital Markets Division is focused on domestic and international capital markets and the investments that enable our property economy.
Torie brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in advocacy, making her ideally placed to lead efforts in securing better tax and investment settings – an ambition central to the Property Council's National Board's priorities.
Torie's leadership journey within the Property Council has been exemplary, from her early days as Policy Manager in the South Australian Division, to Deputy Executive Director, and a successful stint as interim Capital Markets Executive Director in 2020.
Most recently, she has led the Student Accommodation Council, establishing it as the leading voice in purpose-built student accommodation.
Under her leadership, the Student Accommodation Council has led the national debate on the importance of growing our purpose-built student accommodation sector to provide the vital housing our students need.
Torie will formally commence her new role on 20 October 2025 and continue to support the Student Accommodation Council during the recruitment of her successor, a process that begins immediately.
"I am excited to lead the Capital Markets division and look forward to working with our members to lower barriers to investment and unlock capital flows that will grow Australia's property sector," Ms Brown said.
Investa CEO and Capital Markets Division President Peter Menegazzo said, "I'm thrilled to welcome Torie's appointment as Executive Director of the Capital Markets Division. She is a strong advocate for the property industry, with the experience and passion to shape policy and deliver meaningful outcomes.
"Attracting capital into our sector is vital to driving the country forward, and the Division looks forward to working with Torie to advocate for constructive capital market settings and position Australia as a leading global investment destination."
Property Council Chief Executive Mike Zorbas said, 'Torie's appointment, based on a career of successful advocacy for members, further strengthens our credentials as one of Australia's most effective industry associations."
