Precincts and Places, and the real estate within them, are key enablers of the economic, social and liveability ambitions of our cities and regions and the ecosystems that operate within them.

They enable better living, learning and health outcomes, and enhance the connectivity of our critical transport nodes. They support the transition to a decarbonised future from sustainable buildings and communities through to “green” manufacturing zones.
