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

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.

Impact and Influence of Global ESG Policy on Australian and New Zealand Farmers.
The ANZCCJ Food Agriculture and Hospitality Committee invites members and friends to join us for a presentation by and discussion with distinguished 2024 Nuffield Scholar, Catherine Marriott.
Catherine has conducted an insightful research project on the influence of Global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy on Australian farmers. Her report delves into the challenges and opportunities that ESG policies present to the agricultural sector in Australia. Catherine`s research took her to Europe, Asia (including Japan and Korea) and the USA where she spoke to industry leaders and governments. While the report was focused on Australia the impacts will be similar on farmers in New Zealand.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Increased Awareness and Adoption: Catherine's research highlights the growing awareness among Australian farmers about the importance of ESG policies and the steps they are taking to adopt sustainable practices.
- Challenges in Implementation: The report identifies significant challenges in implementing ESG policies, including financial constraints, resource limitations, and the need for more education and support.
- Positive Impact on Market Access: Farmers who have embraced ESG policies have experienced improved market access, as consumers and businesses increasingly prioritize products that meet ESG standards.
- Need for Policy Support: Catherine emphasizes the necessity for stronger policy support from the government to aid farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices, including financial incentives and educational programs.
- Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: The report underscores the importance of collaboration between farmers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to share knowledge and best practices for overcoming ESG implementation challenges.
Catherine is a great storyteller, and her presentation promises to be as entertaining as it is insightful. Guest are welcome to ask questions throughout and share their experiences on ESG’s with the group.
