WSP Australia

WSP’s People and Place Podcast is sharing a mini series in 2022, titled Women Who Shape Cities. Join our host, Sara Stace, as she speaks candidly with some brilliant women from around Australia and beyond, who have made a significant contribution to shaping the places, communities and cities we live in.

In our third episode, Elizabeth Mildwater, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Cities Commission, shares her interesting career spanning private, public and not for profit sectors. Previously, Elizabeth was Deputy Secretary of a number of portfolios at Transport for NSW where she was responsible for operations and planning for all modes of transport. We discuss collaboration and engagement within the Commission and how they are focused on working closely with First Nations people.  We also cast a look back over Elizabeth’s career highlights and her advice to women who are looking for a career in cities, places and precincts.
