Dr Shane Geha is a truly fascinating character. He has built multiple businesses, is a highly disciplined academic and is still constantly studying, learning and stretching himself to the limits of his potential and beyond. As he approaches 50, he is as enthusiastic about property as he was in his 20’s. He treats his staff like family, he still runs in the elite section of the City to Surf and managed to negotiate his way out of a terrorist kidnapping whilst in the Middle East. He fits a lot into his day and he shares life and business philosophies that are inspirational.
Shane is the founding Managing Director of EG Property & Urban Planning and is one of the leading re-zoning experts in New South Wales. His focus is working closely with clients on property uplift strategy and its implementation.
Shane completed his PhD in Planning on “Quantifying the Rezoning Effect” at the University of NSW, 2013. Shane now lectures part-time at the University of Sydney in a number of engineering courses as Adjunct Assistant Professor. Shane was also recently appointed Adjunct Professor at the School of Civil Engineering at UNSW. He has also guest lectured at Harvard School of Design, Shanghai Jiaotong University and the School of Architecture and Engineering at both Notre Dame University and ALBA, University of Balamand in Lebanon.
Dr Shane Geha co-founded EG in 1999 together with Dr Michael Easson (AM). EG was the first private company in NSW to work exclusively in the rezoning sphere, rezoning land for external clients.
