Terry Snow (b. 1943 in Canberra) is an Australian businessman (trained accountant), entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed philanthropist based in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. ==Business and professional history== Snow is Executive Director of the Capital Airport Group,〔(Board of Directors ), Canberra Airport Group, accessed 2009-08-23〕 the company which owns the lease for the land which contains Canberra International Airport, Brindabella Business Park,〔(Brindabella Park ), Kathleen Hyland interview with Terry Snow, ABC TV, 2004-04-02, accessed 2009-08-24〕 Defence Establishment Fairbairn and associated Fairbairn Business Park, and the Majura Park shopping precinct. In 2013, Snow was ranked by Forbes as Australia's 39th richest person, with a net worth of $755 million.〔http://www.forbes.com/profile/terry-snow/〕 Snow has been responsible for a $250 million development of a new terminal for Canberra Airport as well as the development of Brindabella Business Park. Snow's attempt to develop land around the Canberra Airport has been described by Patrick Troy as controversial. Specific criticisms include that it removes jobs from Civic, diminishes Canberra's town centre, and causes unnecessary congestion on roads originally designed exclusively for airport traffic.〔Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ''Stateline'', (Interview between Kathleen Hyland and Patrick Troy ), 3 June 2005〕 Snow established the Snow Foundation in 1990 along with his brother, George. Now valued at over A$10 million, it donates to regional charities and organisations helping needy people.〔(Snow Foundation ), accessed 2009-08-23〕〔(Listening to Fresh Voices: new foundations, younger generations ), Georgina Byron, Philanthropy Australia conference, October 2008, accessed 2009-08-24〕 In 2005 he published the "Living City" proposal for the redevelopment of Canberra.〔(High Powered Members appointed to Canberra Central Taskforce ), ACT Government, 2005-05-05, accessed 2009-08-24〕〔(Minutes of Proceedings ), ACT Legislative Assembly, 2005-05-04, accessed 2009-08-24〕 This caused some controversy, especially after the proposal's rebuff by the ACT Government and combined with his provocative assertion that Canberra is a "dead-set boring" city that had been "going backwards since self-government".〔(Govt fights back over 'boring' claims ), Canberra Times, 2005-07-29, accessed 2009-08-24〕 Snow holds a commercial pilot license for fixed wing aircraft and rotary wing aircraft and has a command instrument rating.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.canberraairport.com.au/air_aboutAirport/board.cfm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Snow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
