Proven Project Management

Proven Project Management is pleased to welcome a new team member to support our continued delivery of projects across Western Australia.

Alanna Rocque has joined Proven as an Assistant Project Manager, working within our Land Development team. Alanna is currently completing her studies at Curtin University, where she is currently undertaking a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Business Management and specialising in Project Management.

Through her studies, Alanna has developed a strong understanding of project coordination, planning and scheduling, stakeholder communication, risk and resource management, and budgeting fundamentals. She brings a structured and detail-oriented approach and is committed to building her practical experience in project delivery.

Please join us in welcoming Alanna to the Proven Project Management team!

Sunday 8 March marked International Women’s Day, and earlier that week members of the Proven Project Management and Rowe Group - Planning | Design | Delivery teams joined colleagues from across the industry at the Women in Property Signature Lunch hosted by the Property Council of Australia.

It was a great opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers including Daisy Pearce, whose reflections on leadership, resilience and forging new paths resonated well beyond sport.

Events like this are a reminder that progress in our industry comes not only from conversation, but from the everyday actions that support women to build long and rewarding careers.

Across Proven and Rowe Group, nearly half our team (47%) are women, working across planning, urban design, project delivery and administration, including in key leadership roles. We’re proud to support women across the business through practical initiatives that help balance career growth with life outside the office, including:

• Paid parental leave top-up and supportive parental leave policies
• Flexible return-to-work arrangements
• Encouragement and opportunities to participate in industry committees and professional development programs

This support is also reflected through the team’s representation on leading industry committees, from Lena and Alyssa with the Emerging Planners Committee, to Robyn serving on the UDIA Outlook Committee, and participation in industry mentoring programs.

It was great to see the diversity in the room, with a mix of genders attending the event together and taking part in the broader conversation around strengthening the growth and representation of women in the property industry.

Thank you to the Property Council WA for hosting another great event and continuing to champion these important discussions.
