• What are construction trends showing for our industry, both locally and on a state level.

HIA experts will provide updates on local and state wide economic trends in the housing industry; provide updates on new regulations (eg OH&S). There will be an opportunity to speak to the presenters and seek advice.

You dont need to be an HIA Victoria member so come along and be informed about whats going on in your industry.
