- Current: Meet our people
Whether considering our employees, partners, people who engage with our projects or live in communities we work within – people are at the heart of everything we do.
At Renewal SA, everyone has a role to play in helping us shape and transform our state.
Meet some of our passionate people.

Steve Porter
“It has been a career highlight assisting Renewal SA’s workforce growth over the last few years and I am fortunate enough to work with a passionate team that embraces inclusiveness and connection.
Not only are we the state’s urban development leaders, but an agency that genuinely focuses on the careers and progress of our people underpinned by a strong set of values and clear aspirational culture.
Everyone at Renewal SA is willing to collaborate from the ground up while delivering results that matter for Adelaide and South Australia.”

Kimberley Shearer
"I’m honoured to be Renewal SA’s Reconciliation Manager and truly value working in a smaller organisation where people know each other by name and are genuinely committed to reconciliation.
My role leads the development of Renewal SA’s new Innovate RAP and helps embed reconciliation and stakeholder engagement across the organisation to support strong collaboration with local Aboriginal communities.
As a proud Bunuba woman, it’s important to me to be part of an organisation where I feel supported in achieving better outcomes for First Nations peoples and communities, and that these efforts are genuine.
It has been so rewarding collaborating with staff on our new Reconciliation Action Plan, and I look forward to the opportunities ahead as we move into implementation. I’m also enjoying the diversity of the work, the opportunity to learn about a completely new industry, and the potential to influence meaningful change."

Maria Kuchel
"At Renewal SA building community is at the heart of what we do, and I’m fortunate enough to be surrounded by passionate people with the same drive to help families realise their dream of home ownership.
It is also thrilling to see first-hand the positive impact we can make for people like you and me beyond the homes we provide, creating community and belonging through destinations like Festival Plaza, exhibitions in Adelaide Railway Station and Tonsley Innovation District, to name a few.
It has been a pleasure to see the organisation and our city grow over the last few years and at the same time I have felt supported while taking the time recently to start my own family. It’s exciting to be back with a vast pipeline of projects ahead."

Scott Duncan
"With 23 years in government across nine agencies, my role in the Industrial and Defence (Major Projects) team here at Renewal SA is a standout.
Our people are driven, and each day presents new challenges and opportunities to collaborate across government, forging strategic relationships that make a difference. From revitalising precincts and unlocking industrial land to developing facilities that strengthen South Australia’s Industrial and Defence sectors — every project is a chance to contribute to something significant.
With a passion for property development and building projects, playing a part in the state’s major projects makes every day energising and purposeful."
