A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER
I extend a very warm welcome to all conference delegates to the 5 th National Housing Conference to be held in Sydney in February 2008.
The theme, Housing as a Foundation: Building Successful Partnerships, underpins the conference program which is aimed at creating and strengthening linkages between the policy, practice and research communities to deliver accessible and affordable housing solutions.
The Conference offers an excellent opportunity for housing professionals and other interested parties to increase their knowledge, exchange ideas and research and develop professional networks.
The 5 th National Housing Conference will provide a platform for speakers to present the latest research, strategic directions, initiatives and housing reforms. A range of presentations will be delivered, including formal presentations on the outcomes of research and workshops canvassing new directions in housing and housing management innovation.
And while you are in town it would be amiss not to see other sights in this fantastic city.
Sydney is a place to come visit at any time of the year. It has a relaxed outdoors lifestyle and the wonderful harbour that everyone can enjoy. Sydney has some of the best beaches and national parks in the world, along with theatres, cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs all over town.
If you have the time, tap into the Sydney lifestyle. You will no doubt find you need much more time to explore the real Sydney. We look forward to seeing you again for a return visit!
