An invitation-only dinner for senior property leaders, held under the Chatham House Rule so the conversation can be candid.
Australia's property sector has set ambitious sustainability targets. The bigger challenge is turning those commitments into solutions that can be delivered consistently, operated compliantly and scaled economically across large portfolios. Drawing on Nightingale's award-winning experience delivering lower-carbon developments, Jeremy McLeod will share what a decade of building has taught him about keeping the model simple, replicable and commercially viable, and what still stands in the way of broader adoption at scale. Phil Barton will then open a discussion into the commercial and operating environment, particularly the increasing regulatory expectations and scrutiny around the management of embedded energy networks, and what that means for property owners in terms of responsibility, compliance and commercial risk.
What you’ll take away
This dinner is designed to move beyond ambition and into the practical realities of delivering sustainable development at scale.
Practical and commercial insight
Hear directly from leaders who have delivered sustainable developments and understand the commercial and operational decisions behind them.
A view from your peers
Compare notes with senior property leaders on what’s working, what isn’t, and the challenges they are navigating across their own projects and portfolios.
Clearer pathways forward
Leave with practical perspectives to help inform the decisions, trade-offs and pathways required to deliver sustainable infrastructure at greater scale.
