ANZCCJ, in collaboration with Lendlease, Ashe Morgan, 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.

- Helen Stylianou - Deputy Head of Mission of the Australian Embassy in Japan
- Sally Auld - Chief Economic, NAB

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

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.
