AUGUST HIGHLIGHT: BIC CEO Varenya Mohan-Ram attended the NSW housing conference, NOW.

A major highlight for Varenya was hearing Dr Rory Gallacher from Apmplifyaus speak. Dr Gallacher stated that his recommendation is to make infrastructure part of the housing bargain and the single most important lever is public transport. He told the audience of 300+ people “When were Sydney participants had to spend a fixed budget across 12 competing priorities public transport upgrades ranked 1st for every one of the four perspectives.”

Varenya enjoyed speaking with Peter Zangari, Executive Partner at Greenway and Dr Gallacher at the conference.
