Sunshine Coast 2022: The Future. People, Prosperity, Property with Bernard Salt AM, Mal Cayley, and Hot 91.1’s Jade Harrison.

‘THE’ PROPERTY EVENT FOR 2022 - data-backed insights into the future of the Sunshine Coast and how you can benefit.

Some are saying this is the greatest turning point in history for the future of the Sunshine Coast. Some will thrive in this new future while many may struggle to survive. With specialist insights shared by leading minds in demographics and property analysis, the aim of this event is to expand the group of people who will thrive by harnessing the intel and explaining the opportunity that is available now.

Hear the predictions from Australia’s leading demographer Bernard Salt and property market intelligence specialist Mal Cayley as they discuss the future of the Sunshine Coast, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

To get the answers you need to make informed decisions for your future, Hot 91.1’s Jade Harrison will interview Bernard and Mal following their presentations and open up for Q&A from the audience. This session will pose the hard questions, test assumptions, and explain the media headlines to demystify the way forward. It is a MUST-see event.

The future of the Sunshine Coast is bright, but will the potential be undershot?

The Sunshine Coast is on a growth path unlike any other region in Australia. Our future already looks brighter yet there is a high likelihood that we will fall short of our potential if a range of business, community, and government groups don’t take action now. It is a time of great change and many are feeling the pinch of increased costs of living, a rental housing crisis, increasing house prices, and rising interest rates. However, there are those that will see this as a time of opportunity and will benefit greatly from what’s about to come while also being part of the solution to help the rest of the community find affordable housing and enjoy the lifestyle.

If you really want to understand what the future holds and what is unfolding in the future of the property market, and how you can leverage it, get to this event and hear from real experts with real data and deep insight.

Ticket includes:

• Welcome drink on arrival
• Cocktail style canapes from 5pm - 6pm
• Presentation by Bernard Salt
• Presentation by Mal Cayley
• Q&A hosted by Hot91.1’s Jade Harrison

This event is for everyone who is considering their future on the Sunshine Coast, particularly if you are:

• Living on the Sunshine Coast and plan to stay here as a homeowner or renter
• The owner of a business and want it to succeed
• A representative of the community and want it to understand the potential of the region, the limitations and opportunities
• Considering a property development in the region
• Looking to invest in residential, commercial, or business assets

Note: This isn’t a sales pitch, it’s about creating important, informed discussion and a chance to listen and question what is actually happening.
