Michael Hales
Director
Fighting to get the best outcomes for clients and communities, Mick wants to see a positive result for everyone involved in a project. He cares deeply for all his clients, and with a long service in the industry, has built and maintained working relationships with councils, services and authorities to assist in a smooth delivery of projects for clients. Through his long service at Millar Merrigan, he has obtained a deep understanding of the land development process, and can consider the process holistically to obtain successful results.
Michael joined the company in 1980 as a survey assistant, providing him with an excellent knowledge of all aspects of surveying related to the land development and subdivisional process. In 2003, Michael crossed over to the planning department and has worked within this department since.
He has been integral in seeing the department expand from a staff of 7 to a team of 30 well-trained, highly-focused professionals involved in all aspects of the development process from inception through to completion. Michael oversees the day to day running of the department and together with Duncan van Rooyen, he manages all of the medium density developments and smaller subdivisions undertaken by Millar Merrigan.
