As Australia’s development sector moves through an unprecedented construction boom, the availability of property and construction credit has contracted.
The void left by traditional sources of development finance, such as the major banks, is being partly filled by non-traditional financiers, such as private lenders, pension funds and non-bank commercial lenders.
But what does this all mean for developers and investors, big and small?

- What can developers and investors expect from bank and non-bank credit providers in 2017?
- What are the major challenges facing the availability, terms and cost of project finance?
- What strategies can developers and investors employ to ensure success?
- What new sources of funding exist in the market place and what are their terms?
- What tax strategies can developers and investors employ to optimise?
