Danny Murphy is the Chair Danny Murphy is the Managing Director of LWP Property Group, the project managers for the Ellenbrook Development. He has over 20 years experience in urban planning and development which has provided him with many insights into the needs of sustainable and connected communities. The Ellenbrook Cultural Foundation was the brainchild of Danny who feels that to address many negative trends in developing new suburbs, more proactive measures are needed to enhance the self esteem of communities. He sees a mutual responsibility between the community and the developer so that structures which bring these two parties together and establish a sound and sustainable funding base are needed. The ECF model meets these criteria.
