Farewell Graham Ward
In September, the BM team celebrated the 39-year career of Graham Ward, who joined us in 1980 as a Graduate Surveyor and leaves us to embark on a well-earned retirement. As a local business, it’s a real privilege to have someone choose to spend their entire career with our team and we’ve been fortunate to have Graham stay with our business for such a long time.
Across his career with BM, Graham applied his craft to the north in all environments. He was instrumental in pioneering survey work associated with the location of the Great Barrier Reef Floating Hotel and took the lead in many other signature projects including the Imax and Reef Wonderland development, Nelly Bay harbour, and many residential estates and unit developments across the City.
His contribution to defining and shaping BM has been significant. His leadership and contribution to the industry and survey profession is also unquestioned, quite rightly inducted as a SSSI Fellow 2017.
By the numbers, we estimate Graham has been responsible for at least:
– 9,200 work days
– Over 8,200 discrete job instructions
Graham has made a huge contribution to helping BM become the business it is today – a true expert, highly professional, resolutely fair, greatly committed, a giver of knowledge.
Congratulations on a fantastic career, Graham! We’re proud to have been a part of it and thankful for your significant contribution to our team!
BM Town Planner part of 500 Women in Property

Mary is one of a number of energetic and engaged professionals that we are fortunate to have in the BM team.

Recipient announced – 2019 Susan Green Pathway to Planning Profession Programme
We’re pleased to announce the recipient of the 2019 Susan Green “Pathway to the Planning Profession Programme” – Nicholas Griffin.
This Programme will provide Nicholas, as a final year James Cook University Planning student, with a work placement with Brazier Motti, attend two planning industry networking events, a one year Young Planner membership of the Planning Institute of Australia, and membership on the Planning Institute of Australia’s North Queensland Young Planner Sub-committee.
We’re proud to be able to deliver this opportunity, created in the memory of our colleague Susan Green, in partnership with the Planning Institute of Australia’s North Queensland branch and James Cook University.
We were thrilled to receive a range of outstanding applications. Nicholas, along with the other impressive finalists Sonya Parison, Sarah Gibson and Matthew Abel, demonstrated a clear understanding of the role of Town Planners in creating a sense of place and in building better communities.
We look forward to working with Nicholas over the coming year as he takes this next step in his Planning career.
