New director for Wellington Airport
Infratil has appointed an Australian property executive, Bob Johnston, to the board of Wellington Airport. He will replace outgoing director Elizabeth Albergoni, who has served on the board since 2023. Johnston is already on the boards of Perth Airport and Australia's largest residential property developer, ASX-listed Stockland. Wellington Airport noted in a statement that Johnston had more than 30 years of international expertise in the property sector, including investment, development, project management and construction. He is currently the chief executive of ASX-listed property group GPT, and was previously the managing director of Frasers Property Australia (formerly the listed property group Australand). He has also held senior management positions with multinational construction and real estate company Lendlease, both in Australia and overseas. Dual-listed infrastructure investor Infratil owns 66% of Wellington Airport. The rest of the shares are owned by Wellington City Council. Infratil appoints four directors to the airport board and Wellington City Council two, including Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau. The latest appointment takes effect immediately.
