PANEL: Want to Develop Property? NSW Planning Reforms Might Be the Answer

29 Apr 2026
FUTURE HOUSING STAGE

Join us for an insightful panel session exploring how recent changes to the NSW planning system are reshaping the development landscape and opening the door to greater low and mid-rise housing opportunities.

As the state works to accelerate housing supply, reforms are creating new avenues for builders to step beyond traditional construction and into development. But with opportunity comes complexity.

Hear directly from a panel of industry experts — including a developer, planning specialist, property expert and finance professional — as they unpack what has changed, what it means in practice and how builders can confidently navigate this evolving environment. From understanding new planning rules and identifying suitable sites, to assessing feasibility, securing finance and positioning projects for market success, this session will provide practical insights for those looking to diversify and grow.

Whether you’re ready to take the next step into development or simply want to understand how the reforms may impact your current pipeline, this is a timely discussion not to be missed.

Attendees can claim 1 CPD point for participating in this session.
