Sebastian Jabbour and Georgio Jabbour from Scion are joined by Andrew Phanartzis from Property Association and Mark Bernberg from PRiMAX to discuss the gap between planning approval and actual housing delivery, the importance of feasibility and market absorption, and why getting more yield on a site doesn’t necessarily mean a project will succeed.

The conversation also explores changing buyer behaviour, the growing role of data in project sales, the importance of getting product mix right early, build-to-rent, planning flexibility, affordability and the need for closer collaboration between government and industry.

It’s an open discussion about what it really takes to move a project from approval to commencement — and ultimately, to deliver housing people can actually live in.
