Master Builders Industry Luncheons are held twice annually, and provide Master Builder ACT members with a unique, intimate forum, to hear about topical industry issues and ask questions of key industry speakers.
The 2026 Industry luncheons will be held at the National Press Club of Australia.
Master Builders ACT invites you to our next Industry luncheon featuring leading economist Cherelle Murphy, EY Oceania Chief Economist, who will provide an in-depth briefing on the economic outlook and what the latest federal budget means for Canberra’s building and construction industry.
Cherelle will unpack the key economic trends expected to shape the year ahead, including:
She will also explore commercial construction activity, infrastructure pipelines, ongoing cost pressures, and the key issues builders, contractors and suppliers should be watching over the next 12 months.
With inflation forecast to remain elevated and labour market conditions expected to soften, this session will give members a clear view of the economic forces shaping demand, delivery and confidence across our industry.
