The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects has appointed Grant Galvin as its new CEO.

Galvin is a former CEO of Master Builders Queensland and recently held the position of deputy chief executive officer at Kevin Murphy Group. Former CEO Ben Stockwin resigned from the role in August 2025.

“Grant’s proven track record in organisational transformation, stakeholder engagement, and governance aligns perfectly with AILA’s vision for the future. His leadership will be instrumental in advancing the role of landscape architecture in shaping resilient, inclusive and vibrant communities,” said Heath Gledhill, president of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects.

“Grant’s appointment comes at a critical moment, as the landscape architecture profession must assert its influence in shaping climate-resilient cities and environments. With his proven leadership and strategic acumen, Grant is well positioned to elevate our voice and secure our seat at key decision-making tables.”
