The 5th annual Affordable Housing Development Summit co-located with the Australian Build-to-rent forum will be taking place in Melbourne from 28-30 August.
 
The event brings together government, housing providers, developers, investors and the wider housing community to explore the most innovative solutions and effective delivery models to tackle Australia’s housing crisis. 
 
In today’s housing market, nearly 1.3 million Australian households are unable to access market housing or experience rental stress. This number is expected to rise to 1.7 million households by 2025. 
To make affordable housing a reality, there is a need to explore evidence-based solutions and practical ways to create replicable, sustainable and affordable housing delivery models which can be scaled across the nation. 
 
Therefore, the team at The Affordable Housing Developing Summit is delighted to announce the participation of three international speakers from the UK who bring their knowledge and depth of experience in affordable housing development and build-to-rent funding and development to this year’s conference. They will provide a detailed context of the UK Housing market and the various housing and funding models implemented to overcome the housing crisis and how Australia could implement them to similar success.

Who Should Sponsor

Raise your profile at The 5th Affordable Housing Development Summit Australia


The 5th Affordable Housing Development Summit is a premier conference that brings together senior leaders from government, community housing providers and property developers to discuss how to better collaborate in order to increase the supply of affordable housing.

Extensive research with key stakeholders from Australia’s affordable housing community tells us that this discussion is relevant now because:
  1. AHURI estimates that 1.3 million households are in a state of housing need; and the demand for affordable housing far exceeds supply.
  2. The Federal Government has confirmed a government guarantee to complement the bond aggregator mechanism, which will drive increased investment in affordable housing
The challenge for government, community housing providers and property developers alike is how can design and construction practices be transformed to create sustainable and
replicable affordable housing delivery models at scale?
