After several years of disruption, Australia’s office sector is entering a new phase. Leasing momentum is strengthening across prime assets, return-to-office trends are stabilising, and investors are increasingly differentiating between premium-grade buildings and assets facing capital expenditure, repositioning, or obsolescence challenges. At the same time, occupier expectations continue to evolve, with workplace quality, sustainability, flexibility and tenant experience increasingly shaping demand.
For Japanese investors and corporates, understanding the practical realities of office leasing, incentives, repositioning opportunities and workplace fitout economics has never been more important.
This timely session will provide a practical and investor-focused update on the forces reshaping Australia’s office markets across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and what they mean for landlords, tenants, developers and offshore capital.

- Cameron Williams - Managing Director, Office Leasing, Colliers Australia

For more than fifty years, Australia and Japan have built one of the Indo-Pacific's most important energy partnerships. As both countries pursue ambitious decarbonisation and energy security objectives, the focus is rapidly shifting from policy ambition to project delivery, investment and commercial execution.
The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee in partnership with the Ashurst, ANZ and Endgame Analytics invites members and guests to Powering the Next 50 Years: Australia, Japan & the Future of Energy Security on Wednesday, 7 October 2026 at the Conrad Tokyo.
Bringing together senior leaders from government, industry, finance and academia, the discussion will examine where the next generation of Australia–Japan energy opportunities are emerging, the barriers to commercial deployment, and how both countries can work together to finance, build and scale the infrastructure needed to deliver long-term energy security, industrial competitiveness and decarbonisation.
Drawing on recent research from the Net Zero Institute, speakers will explore the concept of an Asia-Pacific Super Energy Highway - a proposed network of renewable electricity, hydrogen, critical minerals and low-emissions industrial supply chains connecting Australia with the broader region - and what it could mean for future investment and regional energy markets.
Discussion topics include:
- The future of the Australia–Japan energy partnership in a decarbonising world
- The Asia-Pacific Super Energy Highway and its implications for regional energy markets
- Renewable electricity exports, HVDC transmission and new cross-border energy links
- Hydrogen and ammonia: scaling commercially viable low-carbon supply chains
- Critical minerals, supply chain resilience and industrial competitiveness
- Certification frameworks, carbon accounting and standards harmonisation
- Financing large-scale energy infrastructure and attracting long-term capital

Australia and Japan have long shared one of the region's most significant strategic and investment partnerships. As critical minerals become increasingly important to the global energy transition, Japanese investors, financiers and government stakeholders continue to play a pivotal role in supporting exploration, project development, processing, downstream investment and strategic offtake arrangements across Australia's critical minerals sector.
Against a backdrop of evolving regulation, geopolitical considerations and increasing capital requirements, investors are navigating a rapidly changing landscape while balancing security of supply, regulatory risk and long-term value creation.
The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee - in partnership with Ashurst Perkins Coie - are pleased to invite you to an exclusive roundtable bringing together a select group of senior commercial and legal professionals leading Australia-Japan critical minerals transactions for a candid discussion on the legal, regulatory and commercial issues shaping Japanese investment into Australia's critical minerals sector.
The discussion will focus on issues including:
- The outlook for Japanese investment in Australia's critical minerals sector.
- Evolving investment structures, including minority investments, joint ventures, strategic alliances and integrated offtake arrangements.
- FIRB, national interest and national security considerations in critical minerals investment.
- Government policy developments in Australia, Japan and other key jurisdictions influencing investment decisions.
- Access to tenure, project approvals and development pathways.
- First Nations partnerships and community engagement as drivers of project certainty and long-term value creation.
- ESG, sustainability and supply chain considerations influencing investment decisions.
- Funding strategies for capital-intensive projects, including project finance and government support.
- Lessons from recent Australia–Japan critical minerals transactions and strategic partnerships.
Ashurst Perkins Coie will chair the discussion, drawing on the collective experience of participants to explore practical approaches, emerging market trends and lessons from recent projects and transactions. Rather than formal presentations, the session will be highly interactive, encouraging an open exchange of perspectives among peers.
Limited to a small group, the session is designed to encourage an open exchange of perspectives among peers in a confidential setting. As places are limited, we encourage you to confirm your attendance at your earliest convenience.
We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a timely and engaging discussion.

As part of ANZCCJ's ongoing Australian Real Assets series, we are pleased to invite members and guests to join us on Wednesday, 15 July 2026 for our next instalment - this time turning the lens squarely on Australia's commercial real estate sector, with a deep dive into the office and industrial markets.
While residential and Build-to-Rent have dominated recent conversations, Australia's office and industrial sectors are presenting some of the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities for Japanese institutional capital today. Prime office assets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are seeing a decisive flight to quality, with vacancy bifurcation creating attractive entry points. Meanwhile, Australia’s industrial and logistics sector remains underpinned by constrained supply, limited infill land and resilient occupier demand, creating a compelling entry point where assets acquired below replacement cost are positioned to capture a renewed cycle of rental growth and value creation.
The session brings together Australia's leading real estate developers, fund managers, financiers, and advisors to provide a frank, investor-focused assessment of both sectors - covering market dynamics, financing structures, legal frameworks, and the trusted local partnerships that have underpinned successful Japanese capital deployment to date.
This is a must-attend event for Japanese institutional investors, financiers, developers, and advisors looking to understand where the real opportunities lie in Australia's commercial real estate markets in 2026 and beyond.

- Margaret Bowen - Acting General Manager North East Asia, Austrade

The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee, in collaboration with Ashurst and the South Australian Government, is pleased to invite you to an afternoon of discussion, insights, and networking at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo.
Australia and Japan are at a pivotal moment in their energy transitions - navigating the shared challenge of advancing decarbonisation while maintaining energy security, industrial competitiveness and investor confidence. Against a backdrop of tightening insurance markets, capital constraints, supply-chain disruption and growing geopolitical uncertainty, managing climate and financial risk is becoming central to sustaining credible transition pathways in 2026 and beyond.
This event will bring together senior leaders from finance, insurance, energy, aviation and industry to examine how Australia and Japan can work together to de-risk the transition while preserving commercial viability and long-term energy security. Discussion will focus on project bankability, regulatory and geopolitical pressures, and practical tools to strengthen resilience across bilateral supply chains and investment flows.
Key areas of strategic alignment between the two countries will be explored, including the evolving role of LNG as a transition fuel, hydrogen and ammonia value chains, carbon markets and supply-chain security, and the growing importance of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Perspectives from across aviation, finance, insurance and energy will help connect policy ambition with commercially grounded transition pathways.
Join us for an afternoon of candid discussion and networking as we explore how Australia and Japan can navigate climate, financial and geopolitical risk - and build a more secure, resilient and investable energy transition together.

The Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ), in partnership with key Chamber members, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer and the Australia-Japan Research Centre (AJRC), is pleased to extend an exclusive invitation to our Platinum and Gold Members for a private dinner briefing on the 9th Annual Japan–Australia Investment Report.
Produced by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer in collaboration with the AJRC at the Australian National University, the Japan-Australia Investment Report is widely regarded as the benchmark publication analysing cross-border investment flows between the two countries. The report tracks Japanese mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnerships in Australia, providing detailed insights into deal volumes, sector trends and the evolving commercial relationship between Japan and Australia, as well as the strategic forces underpinning Japanese investment, including energy and resources security, renewable energy and decarbonisation initiatives, real estate and infrastructure investment, and emerging sectors such as technology and critical minerals.
We are delighted to welcome co-authors of the report, Damien Roberts and Professor Shiro Armstrong, who will present the key findings from the 9th edition. The briefing will draw on an in-depth analysis of Japan-Australia M&A transactions and partnerships throughout 2025, highlighting the major deal trends that shaped the year and the key drivers expected to influence the trajectory of the bilateral investment relationship in 2026 and beyond. The report is widely used by investors, corporations, policymakers and advisors as a reference point for understanding where Japanese capital is flowing and where the next Australia–Japan investment opportunities lie.
