Programme

Riding the waves of change

The 2023 conference programme has been designed by a collective of industry leaders for property professionals like you. Please note this programme is subject to change.


Site Tours

Join us for one of two optional site tours on day one of the Property Conference 2023.

2:00 - 5:00pm  Tour One (SOLD OUT)

A tour of two of the most exciting developments in the Gold Coast:

The Star

The 2-billion-dollar masterplan will put residents at the centre of a truly world-class recreational hub comprising four new towers, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and retail spaces on Broadbeach Island. The first mixed-use hotel and apartment tower opened in 2022. The overall masterplan represents a significant transformation for The Star Gold Coast, bringing sophistication, service, and style to a new level.

HOTA Gallery

Completed in 2021, the HOTA Gallery has a 1000-square metre main exhibition gallery designed for touring exhibitions of international size and scale as well as a children's gallery and 900 square metres of collection storage, workspace and crate storage. Built over 6 levels, the visual arts facility has over 2000 square metres of AAA-rated, international standard exhibition space.

3:30 - 5:00pm  Tour Two (NEW)

A tour of RDX Lumina, a state-of-the-art health and research-focused facility to be delivered within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.

RDX Lumina

RDX spans 11,500sqm across nine storeys and features sustainable design, targeting a 6 Star Green Star rating, a first-in-precinct accomplishment. The building offers a mix of clinical, research, laboratory, and specialist consulting spaces. Construction is underway and scheduled to complete mid 2025. With a proposed air bridge link into Gold Coast Private Hospital, RDX is currently the only building within the Lumina precinct to offer clinical connectivity and direct hospital access. With a focus on health, innovation and R&D excellence, the RDX ecosystem provides the opportunity to join the likes of Philips Health and Sonic Healthcare at this world-class facility.

Please note: Site tours are exclusively for TPC23 attendees, but are not included in the TPC23 general admission ticket and will need to be purchased in addition to your registration. Limited spaces are available.
