Start your day with one of Australia’s most respected economic voices.
FCPIA is hosting a special breakfast briefing with Bendigo Bank’s Chief Economist, David Robertson, delivering a State of the Nation update—what’s driving interest rates, inflation, confidence and growth—and what it means for business, investment and property in 2026.
To set the local scene, Glen Winney (FCPIA President) will open the morning with a short Fraser Coast demographic and growth snapshot, framing David’s macro outlook through a regional lens.
This is a high-value session for anyone involved in property, development, construction, business, investment, or decision-making—and a great chance to connect with industry peers over breakfast. There will be a door raffle on the day, with all funds raised in support of our 2026 charity partner, Rally for a Cause.
