The former head of development for Westfield in the UK and Europe has taken up a position at Australian rival Lendlease.
John Burton (pictured), who Ðǿմ«Ã½ revealed was leaving the shopping specialist earlier this year, has become the managing director for urban regeneration at Lendlease in Australia.
At the time of his departure a Westfield spokesperson confirmed Burton, who originally hails from Canberra, was set to return to his native Australia.
She said: “John Burton has decided to move back to Australia after a very successful career at Westfield.
“The core development team will continue to work on the development projects and the delivery timelines remain the same.â€

He had also been running the specialist developer’s first project on mainland Europe – Westfield Milano – and the £1.4bn Whitgift Centre in Croydon, south London, before his departure.
