Frasers Property Australia has appointed experienced architect and environmental designer Kate Nason as Sustainability Advisor, boosting its highly talented sustainability team.
Having previously held roles with Atelier Ten, ARKit and Jackson Clements Burrow, Nason’s experience ranges from single and multi-residential buildings to urban scale, mixed-use developments, civic and institutional projects, and more.
She has recently been involved in a range of sustainable community developments with Development Victoria, as well as stand-alone buildings targeting zero-carbon status.

Based in Melbourne, Nason will provide technical advice, guidance, education and influence to Frasers Property’s development teams to ensure sustainability is embedded throughout all project stages.
“This is an exciting time in the sustainability sector in Australia. Frasers Property is a global leader in sustainability in real estate and I am excited to work with like-minded people to accelerate and up-scale positive change in the built environment, so we can carve out a more liveable, resilient and regenerative future for all,” says Nason.
