Leah Lang, an experienced Strategic Design Advisor and award-winning registered architect (FRAIA), was appointed as the Queensland Government Architect in September 2021, in the lead up to the 2032 Olympic Games.
Notably, she served a four-year tenure as the Gold Coast City Architect, a coveted role with significant responsibility, given the Gold Coast is Australia’s sixth-largest city and the nation’s second-largest Local Government Authority. Here, Leah oversaw city-wide design and planning policy and implementation – critical for the region’s sustainable growth and liveability – which included supervising components of the final stages of the 2018 Commonwealth Games’ venues.
With more than 25 years experience, Leah is undaunted by large-scale, complex and ambitious projects, and understands site-specific subtleties.
Instrumental on both the Gold Coast Light Rail and $60.5 million Home of the Arts (HOTA) Gallery, Leah’s insights helped inform viability, minimise negative impacts on surrounding character landscapes, and ensured the cultural precinct honoured the international competition-winning masterplan by ARM and Topotek1.
Leah’s leadership and expertise has been utilised through appointments to multiple high-profile design boards, panels and juries. Collectively, she leverages all of these roles to advocate and facilitate high-quality, place-responsive design and heritage outcomes.
