The ‘Melbourne Revitalisation and Economic Growth Forum’ was hosted by event partner CBRE.
We heard from Lord Mayor Nick Reece as he discussed the opportunities and challenges facing Melbourne, the nation’s biggest and fastest growing capital city. He touched on Melbourne’s strong economic growth, the population boom and the significant drop in shopfront vacancies.
We then moved into a panel discussion with Kate Bailey (CBRE), Ludo Campbell-Reid (City of Melbourne) and Daniel Dugina (Lendlease), moderated by Cath Evans. Our panel focused on the return of workers to offices and the critical issue of CBD office vacancies. The panel also answered the audience’s questions on the challenges and exciting opportunities shaping Melbourne’s future.
