New. Different. Leading Geelong's Housing Future.
Hygge Director Adam Davidson joined industry leaders at this year’s UDIA Geelong Summit - themed NEW. DIFFERENT. Leading Geelong’s Housing Future.
The event brought together developers, planners, policymakers and decision-makers to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping Victoria’s second-largest city.
As a Keynote speaker Adam presented on Infill Housing Viability in Regional Victoria drawing on UDIA Victoria’s Making it Stack report.
Using detailed feasibility modelling and case studies, he examined why many strategically aligned infill projects are not proceeding and outlined the planning, policy and investment levers needed to close the gap between ambition and viability.
Hosted at GMHBA Stadium, the Summit featured a range of speakers, including:
The CEO of the City of Greater Geelong sharing the city’s vision and ambitious target to deliver 128,600 new homes by 2051.
Shaun Cumming from Barwon Water discussing innovation, growth and change.
Experts on masterplanned communities including Greenfield market development and land lease communities, highlighting more affordable housing options.
Colleen Peterson, Acting Deputy Secretary, Planning and Land Services, Department of Transport and Planning, delivering a keynote on proposed reforms to the Planning and Environment Act and how they could support regional development and growth.
