Here’s to sharp thinking, bold moves, and big returns— enjoy the read! WELCOME FY26 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the property sector, with capital on the move and funding strategies evolving rapidly. In this edition, we delve into Capital & Construction – Who’s Funding What in FY26, featuring perspectives from leading agents across the country and exclusive commentary from Mark Greenberg, Head of Lambert Capital. Additionally, we also spotlight the accelerating rise of private credit in commercial real estate finance, where non-bank lenders are redefining the market with speed, flexibility, and tailored funding solutions. Our Interview Series continues with an inspiring success story: Peter Freedman AM, Founder of RØDE Microphones, on how he transformed a near- bankrupt family business into a global manufacturing powerhouse, now exporting to more than 120 countries. In Ready Talk, Jack Johnstone sits down with Illan Samuel, Founder & Managing Director of Samuel Property, to discuss his journey from securing his first development site to building a high-end, multi- residential portfolio—sharing candid insights into feasibility, planning, and community engagement. We also explore Australia’s $9 billion green energy pipeline - a wave of solar, wind, and battery storage projects delivering standout returns and strengthening investor confidence. Plus, we unpack the latest Procore/ Property Council Confidence Survey, which shows national sentiment holding steady at 124 index points, even as early signs of market strain emerge.
