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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Note ###: Capacity is limited to 50 people - tickets allocated via a lottery system on Friday, 24 October 2025
ANZCCJ, in collaboration with Lendlease, AsheMorgan, Mirvac, Investa, Marubeni, JLL, ANZ, SMBC, Astris Advisory, King & Wood Mallesons, and Perpetual invite members and guests to join us on 22 October 2025, for an insightful discussion focusing on investment opportunities in Australia’s growing Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector.
Driven by record-low vacancy rates, urban population growth, and government-backed housing initiatives, the BTR sector in Australia is emerging as a compelling opportunity for long-term, stable returns. With increasing institutional momentum and successful Japanese-Australian partnerships already in motion, this session will provide a practical, investor-focused deep dive into the dynamics shaping the sector - from regulatory frameworks and financing structures to tenant demand and construction risk.
This is a must-attend event for Japanese institutional investors, financiers, developers, and advisors looking to access or expand their presence in Australia’s real asset markets.

- Helen Stylianou - Deputy Head of Mission of the Australian Embassy in Japan
