Housing, housing, housing. It was a conversation that dominated the Property Council of Australia’s annual Property Leaders’ Summit given the country’s current supply crisis. 

But a range of other topics were also put under the microscope, including the current interest rate trajectory, views on alternative property assets, if we’re on track to meet our ambitious energy transition targets, and whether early AI adopters will reap a competitive advantage. 

The Summit is the hottest property ticket in town, and it’s governed by the Chatham House Rule. So, we were excited by the opportunity to discuss - under the Chatham House Rule of course - key outtakes with the Property Council’s Executive Director of Capital Markets Antony Knep and the Capital Markets Division Council President Carmel Hourigan, who is also Charter Hall’s Office CEO.
