Simon hands over the keys to NewQuay

Simon Duffield leaves NewQuay this month after seven years as the area’s precinct manager.

Mr Duffield (pictured right) is leaving Docklands in order to take up a position a little closer to home. He’ll be working in medical-related real estate in Glen Iris.

Mr Duffield said he had seen many changes in Docklands over the past seven years.

“It’s easy to forget how far it’s really come,” Mr Duffield said.

Mr Duffield said his favourite part about working in NewQuay was spending sunny days walking along the promenade. He also said he had made some great friends while working in the area.

Mr Duffield said he felt he was leaving NewQuay at a time when it is just about to turn a corner.

“NewQuay and Docklands just have so much going for them and we have stakeholders who are committed to making NewQuay a success,” he said.

Mr Duffield’s last day as NewQuay Precinct Manager is July 5.
