The future of Ipswich’s Western Corridor is taking shape, with strategic planning playing a key role in guiding how these communities will grow and connect.

A representative from Ipswich City Council will provide an update on the Western Growth Corridor Structure Plan (WGCSP), outlining emerging directions for land use, housing, infrastructure, transport and environmental management. This will include how the plan is being developed to guide growth across Rosewood, Walloon and Thagoona, and the role it will play in shaping future communities.

Following this, Kris Krpan from Urbis will offer further insight into the Structure Plan in its current state, including what industry can expect as the plan progresses and how it aims to provide greater certainty for developers and investors.

They will then be joined by Jaryd Collins from Atrio Property and Peter Honeyman from ID Land for a panel discussion, where they will share a developer’s perspective on the opportunities and challenges associated with delivering growth in the Western Corridor.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from Council and industry as they outline the priorities, planning framework and development opportunities shaping one of South East Queensland’s key growth areas.

It’s time to bring housing affordability back within reach.

This is no longer a future challenge. We must enable the delivery of more housing, faster, by addressing policy settings and feasibility constraints that are limiting supply and restricting the types of housing being brought to market.

This summit brings together leaders from government, finance, and property to examine what needs to change and what it will take to improve housing affordability in today’s market.

Explore how decisions are shaping housing supply, the realities of making projects stack, and the barriers limiting key typologies, including Build-to-Rent and affordable housing.

Understand where current approaches to density, scale, and housing diversity are falling short, and what must shift to enable greater delivery across the housing continuum.

What would it take to improve housing affordability now? What will actually move the dial?

Secure your seat at the most important conversation of the year.
