We are all aware of the current and growing concerns about sustainability, climate change, the environment, carbon emissions, our own ecological footprint and local and the global impact.

We want to stop using plastic bags, drive less and do more to be sustainable and reduce our effect on the earth, but what’s the first step?

What effect do you currently have?
What are carbon offsets?
Can you benefit financially?
Who provides green services & products?
Can I make a positive contribution to the social and environmental aspects of our living and working lives?

These are just some of the common questions asked.

> Geoff moderates PCA Future Forecast 2009

The first Future Directions event of 2009 saw a large turn out; in excess of 170, young property professionals attended the event at CitiClub to hear a panel discussion around the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and future forecasts of 2009 for the property sector.

The event, moderated by Geoff Gourley, lead panel members Andrew Ballantyne - Head of Research for Victoria and the National Head of Office research at Jones Lang LaSalle, Carl Schibrowski - Senior Development Manager with Macquarie Capital Advisers and Ross Hamilton who has been actively involved in the real estate industry for in excess of 15 years through the evening.

The panel discussion was centered on a number of questions such as;

• Why are some developments gaining finance approval while others are struggling to gain finance?,

• Is the stimulus package a positive step for the property sector?,

• What impact will RuddBank have on the property sector?,

• What are your forecast predictions for the next 6 and next 12 months?

The audience asked a number of questions following the event and discussions continued over drinks and finger food till late in the night.

The large attendance demonstrated the level of concern within the property sector, there was not a lot of positivism to take away, the ‘New Reality’ is something which is impacting the property sector and us all.

We aim to present an up date around this topic later in 2009 to see what actually happened in the first 6 months and what lay ahead for the remainder of 2009.
