Vale Lang Walker AO
The Property Council of Australia today paid tribute to industry icon Lang Walker AO, who last night passed away at his home in Sydney. Mr Walker was inducted into the Property Council’s Australian Property Hall of Fame in 2017.
Property Council Chief Executive Mike Zorbas said Mr Walker’s contribution to the sector and Australian life was immense.
“Lang Walker was a great son of Sydney. He was a great champion of the property industry and a great contributor to many Australian cities and communities,” Mr Zorbas said.
“Lang lived and breathed property for more than five decades. During that time he housed and employed tens of thousands of Australians while investing in and shaping our cities for the better.
“His induction into the Australian Property Hall of Fame recognised his pioneering works in the property sector and the generosity of his broader philanthropic contributions.
“On behalf of the Property Council of Australia, I extend our deep condolences to Lang’s family, friends and his Walker Corporation team”, he said.
