CEO REPORT 2018/19

The 2018/19 financial year was action-packed for UDIA Victoria as we developed a strategic advocacy-led policy and research program and delivered a solid program of diverse content-rich events.

The UDIA Victoria position as the peak industry body for the development industry is built on the strength of the urban development industry. Our job is to foster purposeful partnerships and facilitate solution-based advocacy outcomes on behalf of the sector, to support Victoria’s economic and social evolution into the future. We work hard every year to deliver for the industry and for the broader Victorian community.

We continue to lead the charge on policy reform and this year, built upon past successes to drive meaningful change. We know that the work we do increases the opportunity for Victorians to enjoy great urban spaces, own or rent their own homes, live in highly liveable communities, and enjoy a Victoria with a strong and prosperous economic future.

We are still celebrating the success of the 2018 UDIA National Congress hosted by Victoria with over 630 global, domestic and local experts gathered in Melbourne to ‘See the Now’.  The landmark event was a real highlight of the year for the UDIA Victoria team.  With innovation, new technology and leading-edge insights making up the core experience, we delivered dynamic presentations, site tours, networking functions and a range of exciting experiences for delegates. As it does every year, the 2018 National Congress provided exciting opportunities for industry to network, learn and tap into new ways of seeing and thinking. 

UDIA Victoria is an influential voice for the industry both publicly and privately, through consistent engagement with government, media, industry stakeholders and the broader community. We collaborate and present evidence-based advice, solutions and submissions to policy- makers and in FY2019, we achieved signficant advocacy wins on behalf of members across a wide range of industry issues.  

UDIA Victoria invests in a wide range of research initiatives and distributes regular industry intelligence to ensure members consistently benefit from up-to-date market information and business-building insights.  A major plank of our role in building the capacity of the broader industry is through a robust professional development program. With a clear strategy to grow this offering in partnership with Swinburne University and others, we are focused on building skills and capabilities within our industry and ensuring the future of the sector is strong. 

I thank everyone who has contributed to our success including the UDIA Executive Committee and Board members, committee members, partners, sponsors and the dedicated team at UDIA Victoria. 

 

THANK YOU

Finally, thank you to our members for your ongoing support and engagement. We look forward to continuing our important work on your behalf.
