Mullins Lawyers welcomes new planning and environment Partner Mitchell Osborne to its property team, reinforcing the firm’s focus in this area ahead of Queensland’s infrastructure and property surge in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
Mitchell brings more than 15 years’ experience in planning, environment, construction and government matters, and is also a qualified town planner.
Just weeks into joining Mullins, Mitchell chaired a session at the 2025 Queensland Environmental Law Association Conference, further cementing the firm’s strong industry ties alongside his long-standing connection with the Planning Institute of Australia.
He has acted for a range of clients including developers, land owners and both local and state government authorities.
His addition to Mullins marks a significant expansion of the firm’s planning, environment and construction capabilities at a pivotal moment for Queensland’s future.
