Greenfield Market Research Breakfast - more than a market update.

The conversation continues...
For years, UDIA Victoria’s Greenfield Market Research Breakfast has brought the industry together to examine market trends, share insights and discuss the forces shaping development and communities across Victoria. More than 10,000 people have attended and established the event as a fixture on the industry calendar. Speakers from government, development, home building, construction and finance have contributed perspectives from across the housing delivery pipeline.

The event is more than the latest market insights. It gives members direct access to industry leaders and decision-makers, helping them understand changing market conditions and contribute to the policy conversations impacting the sector.

Join us at our next breakfast, where we will continue to explore both the immediate pressures confronting businesses and the longer-term reforms needed to support housing supply - from the current interest rate environment and Federal Government tax changes to the collapse of Bathla and the upcoming state election.

It’s more important than ever to have informed, industry-wide conversations.

Register now to hear the latest on Victoria’s Greenfield market, Federal Government tax impacts, and the latest on the Victorian election.

Join us as we look at the performance and outlook of Victoria’s Greenfield market from Research4’s National Land Survey, delivered by Colin Keane. We will also unpack the impacts of the Federal Government’s tax policies on the sector with Gerard Burg, Head of Research at Cotality.

Costs continue to rise while net developable land on new developments fall. Government promises to increase PSP approval times have not yet materialized and the Opposition’s policies are far more favourable to greenfield development.

One month out from a critical state election, we’ll discuss the policies from both major parties and give UDIA’s assessment on who has the most greenfield-positive policies.

It has never been more important to learn the latest data and insights and network with your peers and industry leaders.
