Mike Smith, an experienced lobbyist, joins Martin Preece on The Building Talks Podcast to discuss the role of a lobbyist and what lobbying is really about.

Mike explains that government decisions aren’t just about making a quick call; they need to consider the wider impact, how decisions set precedents, the views of different agencies, funding considerations and the broader public interest.

A great insight into why understanding the process is so important when working with government, particularly across property, construction and the built environment.

$12bn Northshore Hamilton Vision Unveiled for Brisbane Riverfront.

has selected five local developers to deliver around 2,200 homes across 6.1 hectares of riverfront land at Northshore Hamilton, forming part of one of Brisbane’s biggest urban renewal projects.

GRAYA TV Joe Adsett Architects Greyburn Building Contractors, Lancini Property Group and Red & Co. will each deliver separate projects across the precinct, alongside around 21,600 square metres of retail, dining, commercial and community space. Plans include apartments, a 50-room hotel, a major supermarket precinct and new riverfront public spaces.

Design teams include Koichi Takada Architects and Joe Adsett Group, with the projects shaped around Brisbane’s subtropical climate, active ground floors and stronger connections to the river. ‘Economic Development Queensland’ is also investing $154 million in roads, sewer and water infrastructure to prepare the former industrial land.

Construction of the first homes is expected to begin from mid-2028, with riverfront parklands following in 2029 and the first residents anticipated from 2031. The wider 304-hectare Northshore Hamilton precinct is ultimately planned to accommodate more than 14,000 homes and around 24,500 residents.

A huge next step for Brisbane’s riverfront, with five developers now set to shape the next chapter of Northshore Hamilton.

$525m Residential Tower Moves Into Construction on La Trobe Street.

Construction is underway on S P Setia Australia ‘Atlas’ tower in Melbourne, a $525 million residential tower at 383 La Trobe Street, set to rise 72 storeys and deliver more than 850 homes in the heart of Melbourne’s C*D.

Designed by COX Architecture and FK the tower will include a mix of studios through to penthouses, along with resident amenity such as a bar, entertaining spaces, offices, gym and wellness facilities.

At ground level, a new gallery arcade will extend Melbourne’s laneway network between La Trobe and Little Lonsdale streets, bringing together pedestrian links, retail, dining and public art on the former Australian Federal Police headquarters site.

Demolition of the existing 1985 building has been completed, with the tower now moving into construction and completion targeted for 2030 - with Multiplex delivering the build. A major new residential addition is officially underway in the C*D.

Gold Coast’s $2.25bn Hospital Build Ramps Up - Head Contractor announced.

Multiplex Construction AU has been appointed to deliver the expanded Coomera Hospital on the northern Gold Coast, with the project now set to provide 600 beds after its scope was increased by 200 beds.

The $2.25 billion hospital is already moving on site, with foundation works, concrete pours, bulk earthworks, retaining structures and stormwater infrastructure underway. Work on the multi-storey car park is also set to ramp up as the main construction program progresses.

The project will be delivered in stages from 2028, with all 600 beds due to be completed by 2032. It forms part of the Queensland Government Hospital Rescue Plan, which includes more than 2,600 additional beds, three new hospitals and major expansions across the state.

A major health infrastructure project for one of Queensland’s fastest-growing regions, and a significant delivery milestone for Multiplex on the Gold Coast.

Stockland Is Back into Melbourne Apartments, With 478 Homes Approved for Collingwood.

Stockland Living has secured approval for a major new residential precinct on Victoria Parade, marking the developer’s return to Melbourne’s apartment market. The project will deliver 478 homes across two buildings rising 17 and 23 storeys on the 5,272 sqm site currently occupied by Jetstar’s Melbourne headquarters.

Designed by Wardle Home the scheme will include apartments, studios and townhouses alongside ground floor retail, communal gardens, rooftop amenities and new publicly accessible green space. A pedestrian laneway will also open the currently enclosed site to the surrounding Collingwood neighbourhood.

The architecture draws on Collingwood’s industrial character through brickwork, articulated facades and a collection of smaller built forms rather than one continuous frontage. The approved plans also provide 297 car spaces and 199 bicycle spaces.

Stockland acquired the site for a reported $65 million in December 2024, with the proposal progressing through Victoria’s Development Facilitation Program. Jetstar is expected to remain onsite until its lease expires in 2027, with construction currently slated to commence in 2028.

Housing affordability is one of the biggest challenges facing Australia right now, and there’s no shortage of opinions on what needs to change.

On this episode of The Building Talks Podcast, Martin is joined by Jonathan O’Brien, CEO of YIMBY Melbourne to unpack the challenges around housing supply, planning and how we build our cities.

Jonathan has become one of the leading voices in the conversation around “Yes In My Backyard”, challenging the way we think about development and asking whether our planning systems are helping more people live where they want to live.

Recently recognised by the Australian Financial Review as one of the people to watch in its 2026 Power List, Jonathan has helped bring data and research into the discussion around zoning, density and housing supply through projects such as the Australian Zoning Atlas.

A really interesting conversation with Jonathan as we explore the challenges, opportunities and realities shaping the future of housing in Australia.
