Don Dunstan Foundation Housing Symposium 2026
Lessons from the Dunstan Decade and Climate Convergence
The two great policy challenges of our time are closely linked – housing and climate change.
The Don Dunstan Foundation’s 2026 housing symposium will focus on the convergence of these two crises and how policy-makers, industry and researchers are grappling with the challenge.
The symposium will also feature a look back on Dunstan housing policy and its time in national policy as part of the Foundation’s celebrations of the centenary of the former Premier’s birth in Suva, Fiji in 1926. This session is in partnership with AHURI and celebrating social housing innovation as a lens to look forward at today’s challenge.
We’ll be examining these issues with panels of experts from the housing sector (private and public), researchers, industry experts, people with lived experience and government decision-makers. We’ll be asking how the nation can housing supply and affordability, while ensuring our housing stock is suitable for a warming planet.
The event will include a light lunch and networking drinks at the end of the day.
