There are numerous hurdles and challenges to overcome to solve for Australia’s housing crisis.

But in the inimitable words of Bob the Builder, ‘Can we fix it? Yes, we can.”

That was the message from the Property Council of Australia’s recent National Housing Solutions Summit and it’s something we explore in our latest Talking Property podcast with two of the panelists: Mirvac CEO Development, Stuart Penklis and Building 4.0 CRC CEO Professor Mathew Aitchison. We’ll need to be more innovative, take the lead

from overseas countries like Sweden, and incentivise global investment at scale.

Tune in to find out how prefabrication, emerging housing types such as Land Lease estates and the introduction of a housing Research & Development Corporation could help Australia shift the dial.  

In this second edition of The House View for 2025, CBRE’s Pacific Advisory Services CEO Phil Rowland and Pacific Head of Research Sameer Chopra discuss the importance of staying the course, at a time when operating conditions are volatile and uncertain.

“Of course this needs to be ‘pragmatic optimism, not blind optimism’, but staying centred on your strategy, looking through the headwinds that are transitory vs structural, and keeping your conviction on the areas where you have a right to win, is just so important,’’ Phil notes.

They also cover off on what they’re seeing in the property market, both in Australia and internationally, what’s happening in the infrastructure arena, and do a deep

dive on Melbourne, to explore whether it’s a case of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ the city will attract renewed investor demand.

To round out the conversation they do a quick check on the full year predictions they made in January.
