Conference Objective

The over-riding objective of the conference is to stimulate debate and research consistent with building and strengthening partnerships across the spectrum of strata and community title stakeholders. Consistent with our 2005 and 2007 conferences, the 2009 conference programme is being formulated in the spirit of advancing cohesiveness and informing longer-term development, lifting the sector's prominence and performance, and highlighting the role of strata and community title structures in the delivery of more sustainable outcomes in urban living.

Why be a sponsor?

As the national demand for community living in apartment complexes, townhouses, duplexes and villas continues to escalate, the Strata and Community Title in Australia for the 21st Century III 2009 conference will bring together an international who?s who of this fast growing industry.
