We’re excited to announce that Katherine Hurley has joined the Birling team as our new Senior Development Manager. With more than 13 years of experience in civil engineering, project management, and large-scale community development, Katherine brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for creating places where people love to live.
Who is Katherine Hurley?
Katherine is a Civil Engineer with an impressive track record delivering residential, infrastructure, and sustainability projects across Australia and the United Kingdom. Her career has spanned everything from upgrading Windsor Castle’s two-hundred-year-old water network to managing a $2 billion masterplanned community in NSW.
At the heart of Katherine’s work is a commitment to sustainability, community benefit, and excellence in design and delivery. She has managed the full life cycle of projects from concept and approvals through to operation while keeping the needs of future residents front and centre.
Outside of work, Katherine is a proud mum to her 18-month-old daughter, which gives her a personal appreciation for the importance of creating safe, welcoming neighbourhoods with spaces for families to grow, play, and connect.
What Will Katherine Be Doing at Birling?
As Senior Development Manager, Katherine will be leading the delivery of Birling’s master-planned community ensuring every stage is built to the highest standards.
Her role includes:
• Overseeing design and construction so that homes, streets, and public spaces are functional, beautiful, and sustainable.
• Coordinating with engineers, architects, and planners to deliver on Birling’s vision.
• Engaging with local stakeholders to ensure Birling positively contributes to the region.
• Making sure infrastructure from roads and drainage to parks and utilities is delivered efficiently and ready for the first residents to move in.
What This Means for Future Residents
For our future Birling community, Katherine’s expertise means peace of mind. You can be confident your neighbourhood will be thoughtfully designed, well-built, and ready to stand the test of time.
In Katherine’s own words:
“When I imagine my family living at Birling, I see a place that’s been carefully designed to make everyday life better where the streets feel safe, the parks feel close, and the infrastructure works seamlessly in the background so you can simply enjoy your home. Every decision we make is about creating a neighbourhood you’ll be proud to call your own, now and for generations to come.”
We’re thrilled to have Katherine’s leadership and experience shaping Birling’s future. The journey from blueprint to bustling neighbourhood is an exciting one and with Katherine on board, our residents can look forward to a community built with precision, passion, and pride.
