Murray works at the forefront of shaping strategic and enduring planning outcomes for challenging, high profile projects – such as transitioning industrial and rural residential land into a contemporary transit- oriented development, delivering economic development strategies that identify tangible growth levers and resolving complex technical issues – from retail expansions to strategic public infrastructure delivery.
His extensive knowledge of the state planning system and local frameworks – regional, metropolitan and rural – is grounded in commercial nous and this, combined with innovative thinking and strong networks sees him sought after as a project leader, trusted advisor and project partner.
Murray specialises in untangling difficult issues through bespoke yet logical methods and a no-nonsense approach, balancing the expectations of clients, stakeholders and decision makers. He is inspired by places like St Petersburg and Istanbul for their sheer diversity and dichotomy – a metro system next to a majestic river, church beside mosque, grand monuments and intimate boulevards.
