About the event
The Urban Developer’s acclaimed Land Lease Summit returns to the Calile Hotel in Brisbane in June 2026.
Since establishing this inaugural event last year, The Urban Developer team has brought this sector – and its rapidly-growing nature – to the forefront of the property industry’s attention.
By assembling the most influential private and institutional players in the land lease sector, this one-day conference provides both active and interested parties with a practical perspective of the key issues.
The summit focuses on how developers, capital, operators and experts are approaching new investment and development opportunities and how critical issues are impacting decision-making.
The program includes keynotes, panels and presentations covering supply and demand dynamics, investment appetite, policy shifts, project delivery considerations and how local and global capital is flowing through the sector.
Attendees will also learn through case studies and site tours that dive into the design, development and delivery of industry-recognised LLC projects.
If you’re interested in how the industry’s leading private and institutional land lease players are thinking about the sector, then this is the conference for you.
Don’t miss your chance to secure tickets as this event will sell-out.
