Two Days of Insight, Ideas and Industry Leadership

Friday 31 October – Saturday 1 November | Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

A Timely Conversation. A National Challenge. A Design-Led Response.​​

Australia is facing a housing affordability crisis that touches every corner of our communities – and building designers are uniquely placed to be part of the solution.

​

The 2025 BDAA National Conference will bring together leading voices from design, policy, finance and construction to explore how we can move from housing shortages to scalable, sustainable solutions.

​

Across two days of keynote talks, panels, workshops and networking, this conference will challenge assumptions, showcase innovation, and elevate the role of design in shaping the housing future of our nation.
