The Sir Phillip Lynch Award of Excellence recognises those who have made an outstanding and distinguished contribution to the residential building industry at the highest level of excellence and integrity.
Pino Monaco’s decades-long service to the housing industry has been marked by exceptional leadership, advocacy, and innovation. His journey with HIA began in the mid-1980s and has spanned numerous influential roles, including member and Chair of key WA committees, WA Regional President (2005–2007), and National President of HIA (2017–2019).
Pino’s contributions have shaped key industry initiatives, from reducing onsite crime through the award winning HIA WA Name and Shame program to championing housing affordability and regulation reform.
“As a Director and Partner at GV Lawyers, Pino’s legal and professional work focuses on housing industry issues - in particular housing affordability - which he believes is fundamental to all decisions concerning construction and regulation in the housing industry,” commented HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin.
Beyond his professional achievements, Pino has demonstrated a pledge to improve community wellbeing, particularly through his role as Chair of the HIA Charitable Foundation’s Management Committee and its ongoing support of Beyond Blue.
“Giving back to the community and industry has been an important part of Pino’s professional life. Pino was on the National Board when the HIA Charitable Foundation was launched and he has been an integral part of its continued development.
“Pino is a strong supporter of improving mental health in the residential construction industry. His commitment in serving builders, contractors, suppliers and manufacturers has been outstanding and goes far beyond what one could reasonably expect from a busy executive.
“His dedication has left a lasting impact on the residential building sector across Australia and exemplifies a career devoted to industry advancement and service,” concluded Ms Martin.
The Award was presented to Pino during HIA’s National Presidents Dinner in Melbourne and is named after the late Sir Phillip Lynch who was an outstanding Australian, member of parliament and champion of the Australian housing industry.
Previous award recipients include General Manager of May Constructions, Colleen May; Managing Director of Meriton, Harry Triguboff; Managing Director of the Hickinbotham Group, Michael Hickingbotham; Managing Director of building products company Brickworks, Lindsay Partridge, and Clarendon Homes founder Peter Campbell.

Tasmanian builders shouldn't be shut out of housing work over union membership

Rushing Working from Home laws will only lead to more bungling
The Victorian Government continues to push ahead with its Working from Home laws despite the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) call for it to abandon its proposed legislation, warning the changes would impose additional regulatory pressure on businesses already struggling and kill productivity.
