Planner and property developer Luke Saraceni has been appointed to the Western Australian Planning Commission board.
Mr Saraceni is a director of Saracen Properties, which has developed a range of retail and commercial projects across Australia.
He started his career as a town planning officer with the City of Swan in the 1970s and was promoted to shire planner within two years – at the time he was one of the youngest people in Australia to hold down such a position.
