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.
Speakers include:
- Cameron Williams - Managing Director, Office Leasing, Colliers Australia
- Andrew Beasley - Regional Director, Office Leasing, Colliers Australia
- Ai Nakagawa - Director, Tenant Advisory, Group Leader, Occupier Services, Colliers Japan
- Russell Grady - Chief Executive Officer, FDC Construction & Fitout
- Julian Anderson - Director, Bates Smart
- Tom Faulkner - Partner, Align Property Partners

- Australian Office Leasing Fundamentals - Overview of market dynamics, rental structures, incentives, reviews, and need to know across the Australian markets
- Market Overview & State-by-State Breakdown - Vacancy rates, leasing trends and economic drivers across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane
- New Supply, Refurbishments & Future Forecasts - Major development pipelines and co-investment opportunities
- Fitout & Design: Futureproofing the Workplace – Building design, commercial fit-out innovation and best practice for tenant attraction.

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

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.

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.

ANZCCJ invites members and friends to join us in celebrating International Women's Day at a special breakfast event on Friday 6 March 2026 at the Pullman Tokyo Tamachi.
Join Rionne McAvoy, President & CEO, Japan Media Services Inc., and director of The Ones Left Behind: The Plight of Single Mothers in Japan, for a fireside chat with Mayumi Nishida, Co-representative Director of Heart Full Family - a charity dedicated to supporting single mothers and fathers on their path to independence and empowering single-parent families to lead fulfilling, connected lives.
Together, our speakers will explore the 2026 International Women’s Day global theme, “Give to Gain.” This theme - rooted in the idea that progress accelerates when we uplift others - encourages individuals, businesses, and communities to take meaningful action that strengthens the collective good. The IWD movement highlights that generosity is not passive; it is a deliberate investment in advancing women’s equality.
This year, ANZCCJ has chosen to focus on single mothers and the realities of single-parent households in Japan, an issue that lies at the crossroads of gender, inequality, economic participation, and social inclusion. Rionne’s award-winning documentary The Ones Left Behind offers an unflinching look at the challenges many single mothers endure: systemic barriers, societal stigma, limited support structures, and the increasing number of women who fall into poverty despite working tirelessly. Through powerful personal stories, the film reveals how structural inequities and rigid employment norms continue to constrain opportunities for women raising children alone.
These experiences reflect core IWD principles - dignity, opportunity, representation - and underscore the urgent need to create a society where no woman is left behind because of her circumstances. By spotlighting this issue, the Chamber aims to promote awareness of an often-overlooked social and economic challenge - one that is deeply connected to Japan’s future workforce health, productivity, and community resilience. It is also an opportunity for our members to reflect on how each of us can “give” in ways that enable others, and our society as a whole, to “gain.”
The conversation will explore practical ways individuals and organisations can meaningfully #GiveToGain - through mentorship, sharing expertise, opening networks, offering resources, advocating for change, and creating opportunities - and how these commitments build long-term, sustainable impact for women, families, and society as a whole.
Speakers include
- Helen Stylianou, Australian Chargé d'affaires to Japan
- Ambassador Lucy Duncan, New Zealand Chargé d’Affaires in Japan
- Rionne McAvoy, President & CEO, Japan Media Services Inc., Director of The Ones Left Behind: The Plight of Single Mothers in Japan

ANZCCJ, in collaboration with Lendlease, AsheMorgan, Mirvac, NAB, ANZ, SMBC, and MinterEllison and proudly supported by the Australian Embassy in Japan, invites members and guests to join us on Wednesday, 4 February 2026 for an in-depth discussion on market trends and regulatory developments in the Australian residential sector.
Against a backdrop of shifting interest rates, record-low vacancy in key markets, and a suite of new housing and planning reforms, Australia’s residential landscape is undergoing rapid change. From apartments and master planned developments to land lease communities and retirement living, the sector is seeing evolving capital flows, new delivery models, and an increased focus on affordability, sustainability, and long-term income resilience.
This session will unpack the key trends and regulatory settings shaping residential investment - including planning and zoning changes, housing policy initiatives, structuring options, and lender expectations - and what they mean for offshore investors, particularly from Japan. Through practical case studies and on-the-ground insights, speakers will highlight how Japanese capital is already partnering with Australian developers, fund managers and advisers across the full residential spectrum, and where the next wave of opportunities is likely to emerge.
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.
