Build to Rent has long been positioned as a key part of Australia’s housing solution – but in the ACT, the sector has yet to reach its full potential. Despite strong fundamentals and growing demand for professionally managed, long-term rental housing, the policy and regulatory environment continues to present real barriers to investment and delivery.
Sponsored by Charter Keck Cramer, join the Property Council ACT & Capital Region for an in-depth discussion on what’s holding Build to Rent back, and what needs to change to unlock its future.
Richard Temlett, National Executive Director at Charter Keck Cramer, will open the event with a keynote presentation, providing national insights into the Build to Rent market, investor sentiment, and the conditions required for success. Richard will explore how the ACT compares to other jurisdictions and what lessons can be drawn from markets where Build to Rent is gaining momentum.
Following the keynote, a panel of industry leaders will bring a local lens to the discussion. The panel will examine the practical realities of delivering Build to Rent in the ACT, including the impact of current settings such as commercial rates, tax treatment, and rental regulations that limit flexibility in rent setting and discourage long-term institutional investment.
This event will unpack the critical policy, feasibility and delivery challenges facing the sector, while also identifying opportunities for reform to support a more viable and thriving Build to Rent market in Canberra.
Regardless of your role in the industry, this is a must-attend conversation on the future of housing in the ACT.
