Ms Hugo steps into the role after serving in a number of senior positions within the Property Council over her six years with the company, including her primary role as the Hunter and Central Coast Regional Director.
"The Deputy Executive Director role contributes significantly to the success of the NSW Division and is an important connection for our members and industry. We are thrilled to appoint someone who is already so well-connected and highly regarded both internally, by our members, and within the industry at large," said Property Council NSW Executive Director Katie Stevenson.
"Anita's leadership, commitment to excellence and wealth of knowledge will allow her to hit the ground running in this role, and to further champion and amplify the advocacy work we do on behalf of our members."
Ms Hugo will continue to serve in the Hunter Regional Director role until a new appointment is made.
