PLANET | Property Economics for Planners

- Shutdowns and border restrictions during COVID constrained immigration and changed local market behaviours.
- Federal and State stimulus packages distorting markets.
- Supply chain shocks increased construction costs.

- Interest rates impacting risk appetite.
- Public policy around infill/intensity requiring new business models.
- The risks and impacts on project delivery arising from changes in regulatory requirements for planning, building and construction
