The use of technology in the property sectors has expanded exponentially over the past decade, particularly as it relates to innovation, automation, customer connection and risk mitigation. Customers and communities are increasingly requiring greater access to technology across assets, so technology is at the forefront of project design from inception.
A 2021 report conducted by the Property Council found that 53 per cent of our member cohort that responded to a survey said that digital transformation was on their radar.

Yardi/Property Council Technology Survey
For the last four years, Yardi and the Property Council of Australia have partnered to unpack the most powerful property technology trends and uncover the opportunities for the real estate ecosystem.
The latest survey showed the adoption of Artificial Intelligence continues to accelerate in the property sector, but not everyone is shifting gears.
Our Industry Committees
There are a number of Committees across the country dedicated to advancing our work in the technology sector.
Industry Committees are made up of 12-25 property professionals from around Australia, who are experts in the relevant field. Committees meet every four to six weeks to discuss issues and projects relevant to their expertise and the focus of the Committee.
Being selected as a member of a Property Council Committee gives you the opportunity to help shape the future and influence the organisation’s advocacy agenda. Members have the opportunity to contribute to important, focused industry discussions while building their professional networks and knowledge.Â
As part of our 40-40-20 commitment to gender equity, all our Committees comprise a minimum of 40 per cent female representatives. Committee members are appointed for a two-year term, with the current Committees commencing their tenure in February 2023.
