Property Council Opportunity Agenda 2009

The Property Council's opportunity agenda presents Australia's nine governments (and 600+ local councils) with bold blueprints for ongoing reform.

This document outlines the Property Council's Powerhouse 2010 strategy, and the complementary 3Rs leadership initiative, the main thrusts of which are to:

• Restore confidence - facilitate a decisive program for improving the sector's transparency and communicating best practice
• Rev-up reform - persuade governments to remove blockages that impede property sector competitiveness
• Re-connect the marketplace - re-engage key stakeholders, gatekeepers, regulators and customers with property industry leaders. The aim is to increase industry dialogue using a common fact base and language
