South Australian Leaders Summit

Home Galleries South Australian Leaders Summit

Last week, the Property Council SA proudly hosted our second South Australian Leaders’ Summit in the beautiful Barossa Valley.

It was a powerful day of connection and thought leadership, bringing together some of the state’s most influential voices in property, politics, and planning.

We were honoured to welcome Chris Richardson for a keynote that delivered a clear-eyed outlook on the national economy and the path to the federal election.

The Hon. Alexander Downer AC followed with a candid and compelling reflection on his political journey and South Australia’s major project pipeline.

From housing and defence to AUKUS and the urgent need to supercharge skills and training, our panel discussions dug deep into the critical issues shaping our future.

A huge thank you to our brilliant panellists and moderators for their involvement, and special thanks to our national CEO Mike Zorbas, Queensland Executive Director Jess Caire, and our Group Executive, Policy & Advocacy Matthew Kandelaars—for their expertise and support on the day.

This event simply wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our Event Partners:

  • Aurecon
  • Future Urban
  • Integrity Healthcare Solutions Pvt Ltd

To everyone who attended: thank you for making this a standout event on our calendar. We look forward to continuing the conversation—and seeing you again in 2026.
