New Urban Development and Environmental Management in SEQ.

There are signs that the urban development sector is picking up. Greenfield housing is predicted to remain as the primary source of housing supply in SEQ over the next few years and land releases and associated services and infrastructure will be required to support these new communities.

In the next few years, where will this urban development occur, how are we planning and governing for it, and how are we going to manage the environmental impact?

Join our list of speakers to gain insight into the future of urban development in SEQ. Our speakers include:
