It is always good to visit sunny Townsville. Last week the Property Council hosted a Townsville Lunch exploring the role that Build to rent can play in boosting critical supply, housing key workers, and activating the city centre whilst acting as an exciting investment opportunity for the region.
Lachlan Dyson from Lendlease shared his international and national experience in Build-to-rent including defining what the burgeoning sector is and isn’t.
Following Lachlan’s keynote, he was joined by Claudia Brumme-Smith from Townsville Enterprise and Ryan Hall from Townsville City Council for a panel discussion.
The event highlighted that Townsville has all the ingredients to ensure Build-to-rent developments are feasible. As Ryan Hall articulated “We cannot wait for superheroes in capes to fly in, it is up to us – we have take action, work collectively and put our best foot forward as we look to house the workers we so desperately need to deliver the critical projects that will sustain Townsville’s economic prosperity.”
