Docklands’ authority Development Victoria (DV) has a new CEO in former Lendlease and Mirvac figure Anne Jolic, who will lead the state government’s property development agency into its next critical phase.

According to the state government, Ms Jolic “brings a wealth of experience from her extensive career in the private sector and property industry” having held senior roles at Docklands developers Mirvac and Lendlease.

She also previously served in various leadership positions with the Property Council of Australia, including a two-year tenure as its Victorian president.

With a career spanning more than 25 years, she has led diverse multi-disciplinary teams to deliver award-winning projects.

In her most recent role as head of operations at Lendlease, she oversaw a $4.1 billion portfolio of complex projects spanning mixed-use developments, residential, commercial, retail, and build-to-rent projects.

Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts Harriet Shing said Ms Jolic was well placed to lead DV’s revitalisation of urban areas, unlock government land and “build diverse, affordable and sustainable communities”.

“Anne Jolic brings decades of experience in delivering major projects to her new role as CEO of Development Victoria and I look forward to working with Anne as we get on with delivering more opportunities for Victorians right across the state,” Minister Shing said.

Ms Jolic replaces former CEO Angela Skandarajah who now assumes the role of chair of DV.

“Development Victoria’s project list in both delivery and pipeline over the next five years is immense,” Ms Jolic said.

”I am excited to lead the organisation in this next phase, working with our partners to deliver critical housing supply and continuing to deliver great places that all Victorians can be proud of.”
