The NSW 'Hunter Future Directions' and 'Illawarra Future Directions' Committees are for aspiring leaders in the property industry. A key focus for these committees is to develop an industry networking and professional development platform for young property professionals (under 35s).
The NSW 'Hunter Chapter' Committee represents the property industry in the Hunter region. A key focus for this committee is to continue to implement the initiatives for the Lower Hunter reform agenda and the review of planning controls for key councils. The Committee also looks after the development of Hunter lunches, forums and professional development seminars.
