Are you ready for what 2025 will bring? Our flagship 2025 Australian Horizon Report is here! After an extended and divergent downturn, property markets are looking ahead to the dawning of a new growth cycle, with 2025 set to bring faster economic growth, long-awaited interest rate cuts and improved liquidity. This year our Australian Horizon report explains why we expect 2025 to mark the commencement of a cyclical recovery, with structural income growth to follow off the back of limited new supply across a number of sectors. It won’t all come at once, but concern over downside risks is now giving way to a focus on upside opportunity and investors are ready to re-engage to position themselves for future performance.

Was an exciting atmosphere in our Sydney head office last night as we hosted professional athletes and clients at The WattleNest "Winning Connections" networking event. The WattleNest helps Australian current and future sports champions compete on the International Stage through strategic partnerships.   The event featured an incredible line-up of athletes who shared their journeys and dedication both on the panel and throughout the audience. Nathan Hauritz, former Australian cricketer and WattleNest ambassador, inspired attendees with his story of transitioning from sport to business. His passion for making sport accessible to all and his brave sharing of the struggles faced during this transition were truly moving. The Guthrie Sisters, Bella and Jasmin, Australian representative track and field athletes, made their panel speaking debut. Their journey towards the 2028 LA Olympics is one to watch, and shared their story on balancing work, training and study.   Thank you to The WattleNest, for your work in building a community for athletes and connecting business and sport allowing athletes to reach their full potential. The stories shared and connections made will have a lasting impact.
