Property and infrastructure

WA’s best property-focused advisers 

With unmatched experience across the property, construction and infrastructure sectors, Cannings Purple’s team of expert advisers make us the agency of choice for some of the best-known names in the State and right across the country.

What we do

Property and infrastructure are significant and complex industries. We’re up for the challenge. We work with the full spectrum of industry participants – including developers, investors, construction companies, contractors, agencies, urban planners and architects – to build public profile, navigate approvals processes, earn social licence, and generate market interest.

Working with our Government Relations, Stakeholder Engagement, Investor Relations and Design & Digital teams, our specialist advisers provide strategic advice, support and solutions.

Profile raising

Whether it’s introducing your business to potential clients, or building awareness of a new development, cutting through the noise in a crowded market can be difficult – but it’s crucial for success.
We provide the right strategy, tools and platforms to get your message in front of the right audience.

Media relations

Our team includes former property journalists and editors with decades of experience across digital, broadcast and print media. With strong and established media networks and deep industry knowledge, we know what makes a good story and we can help you craft and deliver it for maximum impact.

Media training

Understanding what the media wants, how to engage with journalists and influencers, and how to tell your story is invaluable, whether it’s good news or in a crisis. Our experienced trainers use tailored scenarios and our custom in-house studio to deliver practical, engaging and informative media and presentation training in small group or one-on-one sessions.

Issues and crisis management

As one of Australia’s largest corporate affairs firms, we have the knowledge and experience to provide our clients with the right support when things go wrong.
Our crisis management specialists have supported property and infrastructure clients through significant and high-profile crises including the COVID-19 pandemic, court cases, contract disputes, regulatory issues and on-site fatalities.

Planning and development

Effective and timely communication plays a vital role in navigating planning approvals and securing support for development projects.
Our team has a strong and successful track record in working with commercial and residential developers, planning firms and government agencies on projects ranging from boutique apartment buildings through to precinct-scale developments.

Community and stakeholder engagement

The property and infrastructure sectors encompass a diverse range of stakeholders – from State and Federal government agencies and departments, to local councils and communities, to industry bodies and special interest groups.
Engaging effectively with the right audience, at the right time and in the right way is crucial. Our stakeholder engagement specialists have provided expert support on projects ranging from the construction of the iconic Matagarup Bridge to community information sessions.
