In conjunction with Sheargold, each year UDIA NSW awards the Roy Sheargold scholarship to a young industry professional, enabling them to conduct research or further their education.

The winner for 2019 is Olivia Leal-Walker. Olivia is currently a Sustainability Advisor at Frasers Property and presents as a very deserving winner who espouses all of the expected qualities of a Roy Sheargold Scholarship winner.

Olivia intends to further her studies through the Masters of Sustainable Built Environment at UNSW. The judges were extremely impressed with her drive and unbridled passion for sustainable growth practices across Western Sydney. Her research will centre around keeping Western Sydney cool and for every home in the west to be connected to nature.

Sheargold are proud to support Olivia and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.
