| Housing Affordability - Where will the Yellow Brick Road lead? | |
|
Venue: The Sebel & Citigate King George Square WID invites all UDIA members and their guests to what promises to be a lively, informative and timely breakfast discussion about this question that impacts on everyone's lives. Will we travel down a long winding yellow brick raod of working and saving towards owning our own home, to simply arrive at the other end to find it was just a dream? What impact is housing affordability having on the way we live our lives? It determines so much from how long our children stay at home to be able to save for that deposit, to where our next masterplanned communities will be built, to what product developers will deliver. Be on hand as our panel of experts including Matt Wallace, CEO Development Queensland - Mirvac; Diana Howes, Managing Director - Resolution Research; Rebecca Oelkers, Special Projects Manager - Brisbane Housing Company; Toby Lewis, Founder - Happy Hous, discuss how Housing Affordability will shape product, projects, location and lifestyle in 2010 and beyond. |
