The Property Council of Australia is urging further planning reform and greater support for multi-level industrial development as land constraints intensify across New South Wales.
Speaking ahead of the Property Council’s NSW Industrial and Logistics Outlook, Ms Hugo says the sector requires practical measures to unlock supply and provide certainty for investors.
The Council supports increased multi-level industrial development in land-constrained precincts, as well as a review of planning caps and operational curfews where appropriate.
“These are the sorts of measures that make the policy real. Industry can plan and invest when the rules are clear, and the servicing pathway is credible,” Ms Hugo says.
The comments reflect mounting pressure on the state’s industrial land supply, particularly in established metropolitan markets where vacancy remains tight and competition for serviced land continues.
The NSW Industrial and Logistics Outlook will bring together industry leaders, government representatives and investors to examine the forces reshaping the state’s industrial and logistics sector. The program will address freight and supply chain reform, capital market conditions, land availability and enabling infrastructure required to support future growth.
Among the confirmed speakers is Paul Bloxham, Chief Economist at HSBC Bank Australia Limited, who will provide an economic outlook amid ongoing global uncertainty and domestic infrastructure investment.
The line-up also includes Andrew Quade, General Manager Industrial at Mirvac Group; Brodie Collins, Group Chief Strategy Officer at Mondiale VGL; Charlotte Brabant, Head of Investments Australia at Realterm; and Tomas Fekete, Vice President Investments at Brookfield.
The forum is expected to explore how policy settings, infrastructure coordination and capital flows will influence the next phase of industrial and logistics development across NSW.
