That’s a wrap for this year’s Property Council of Australia’s The Property Congress! It was a fun-filled three days in Townsville for #TeamBSE, mingling with the who’s who of the Australian property industry in between presentations, speeches, and panel discussions.
BSE’s Godfrey Frederick, Director – National Strategic Partnerships, and Amelia Fraser, Manager - National Strategic Partnerships, graciously shared their insights from the event.
Godfrey says, “A sincere thank you to the Property Council of Australia for organizing the 2024 PCA Congress in Townsville. Opting for a regional location was a bold and refreshing choice, underscoring the importance of showcasing regional Australia. The city proved to be an excellent host, delivering an impressive experience that highlighted its potential to the Australian property industry.
The Congress featured numerous highlights, from Peter Costello’s insightful opening address to the inspiring closing session with Cathy Freeman and Bruce Djite. The sessions were thoughtfully curated, well-attended, and covered a broad range of timely and relevant topics. Although the weather was hot and humid, the air conditioning at the convention centre comfortably met the challenge!
It was great to represent BSE alongside my colleagues Amelia Fraser, Brendon Newham, and Andrew Sayer. Overall, the event provided abundant opportunities for professional development, networking, and meaningful connections, making it a valuable experience for all participants. Roll on 2025!”
Amelia shared, “We had a fantastic few days enjoying sunny (hot!!) Townsville for the 2024 Property Congress. BSE had a contingent of four team members attend, connecting with industry friends, both old and new, from around the country.
The line-up of presenters and speakers this year was outstanding, featuring returning favourites like Simon Kuestenmacher, engaging as always, along with insights from politicians and industry leaders on the evolving property landscape. A personal favourite session of mine was the chat with Australian legend Cathy Freeman, who delivered a frank, raw, and honest discussion, evoking both emotion and laughter – the perfect way to end a great few days.
The networking events were a hit, with more than one of our BSE team members hitting the dance floor, and all of us walking away with exciting new connections and industry friends from across the country. Bring on Perth 2025!”
Sounds like they had a fantastic time in Townsville! BSE can’t wait for next year’s Property Congress in Perth.
Thank you for representing #TeamBSE, Godrey Frederick, Brendon Newham, Andrew Sayer, and Amelia Fraser.
