Following amendments to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 that came into effect on 15 November 2023, UDIA WA Educate is providing the opportunity for property development industry stakeholders to make sure they are clear on their obligations under the Act.
To support industry capability in navigating the complex residential development process, UDIA WA Educate has developed a Foundations of Property Development course designed to introduce participants to the range of knowledge areas required to operate effectively in Western Australia's urban development sector.
Financial viability, particularly for medium and high-density residential projects in the current West Australian property market, is challenging. That is why UDIA WA is making several recommendations in advance of the next State Budget for supporting residential development feasibility. We are also offering education opportunities for industry and stakeholders through our Professional Development offering.
As Western Australia continues to fall short of meeting national housing targets, Summit Homes Group has turned to modern methods of construction to boost speed of delivery.
