Unlocking Supply: An Infrastructure Solutions Summit

On 18 June, join us as we tackle one of Queensland’s biggest housing hurdles — infrastructure delivery.

Queensland’s housing future hinges on infrastructure delivery, and right now, it’s not keeping up.

Delays, funding gaps, and fragmented coordination are putting pressure on project viability, at the very moment we need to accelerate housing delivery.

Be part of the conversation as we hear from industry leaders, government, and developers. We’ll discuss what’s needed to break the stalemate and move from problem to action.
