What will it take to keep capital flowing into Victoria?

Victoria has everything it takes to be a great place to live, work and invest but what will it take to attract and unlock the capital needed to deliver its next phase of growth?

In a rapidly changing investment and funding environment, investor sentiment, access to capital, lending appetite and taxation settings are all influencing where investment is flowing and the opportunities available to developers.

UDIA Victoria’s Capital & Funding Markets Update brings together leading voices from across the investment, banking, private lending and property sectors to examine where capital is moving, what investors are looking for and how funding conditions are shaping development opportunities across Victoria.

- where capital is flowing and which sectors and opportunities are attracting investment
- what investors are looking for and the factors influencing confidence and investment decisions
- how lending appetite is changing across major banks and private credit
the evolving taxation landscape and its implications for investment and development

Capital. Confidence. Opportunity.

With Victoria competing for investment nationally and internationally, creating the right conditions for capital to flow is critical to delivering the homes, jobs, infrastructure and communities needed for our future.
This timely briefing will provide practical insights into what is driving investment decisions today, and what Victoria needs to do to remain a compelling place to live, work and invest.
