Business Building sessions partnered by James Hardie
Lucinda will explore the fascinating intersection between data and the future of Australia’s housing needs. Research has found that your neighbourhood is directly correlated to your life expectancy or in other words, your postcode is more likely to affect your life expectancy than your genetic code. She is excited about the opportunity to have a robust conversation about housing with people who are at the forefront of creating it.
Author, television presenter and HIA award winning builder Luke Van Dyck talks to HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year winning Builders Michael Lane from Lane Group (winner 2023) and Dan Syddall from Construct Central Coast (winner 2018) about their award winning builds. Cairns Convention Centre |
