The property sector directly accounts for almost 11 per cent of South Australia’s economic activity. We’re advocating for greater infrastructure delivery and increased inbound investment – both critical to ensuring continued economic development and prosperity for all South Australians. Sustainable development and increasing quality, affordable housing choice also remain central to our focus.
Through our work, events and programs, we deliver value for all our South Australian members to uplift the industry and help grow our beautiful state.

Our priorities for South Australia
Promoting growth opportunities for South Australia underpins our priorities, and sensible tax reform is essential to achieving this. We’re advocating for a nation-leading planning and development framework, continued leadership in sustainable development initiatives and greater local government efficiency.
Vibrant cities and towns, choice of housing and investment in the growing retirement living sector are also key to our advocacy and South Australia’s economic development.
