  • Diana Mousina on Why Property Is Australia’s Economic Backbone

    Diana Mousina on Why Property Is Australia’s Economic Backbone
    2025/04/13
    What role does property truly play in shaping Australia’s economic story? In today's episode, we sit down with Diana Mousina, Senior Economist at AMP, to unpack why property plays such a central role in Australia’s economic landscape. Diana brings a sharp, accessible take on the macro forces at play, both locally and globally, and helps us make sense of how the housing market ended up where it is today. We explore the persistent housing undersupply across the country, how population growth and household formation trends feed into demand, and why supply still hasn’t kept pace. Diana talks us through the long-term structural issues: from planning and regulation to developer incentives, and explains why there’s no single lever that can fix affordability on its own. We also touch on broader economic dynamics: what slower productivity growth means for Australia, how inflation is likely to behave in the coming years, and why the push for government intervention has fundamentally changed post-pandemic. If you’ve been trying to make sense of property prices, population pressures, or policy decisions and how they all connect, this conversation offers clarity and context. It’s a grounded look at what’s really driving the housing market and what might shape its future, so tune in and let's get started! Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Welcome 00:57 - Who is Diana Mousina? 01:34 - Why Diana’s economic content resonates 02:43 - Will the Trump administration really impact the Australian property market? 04:52 - What’s behind the housing supply crisis? 06:20 - The demand dilemma and oversupply myth 10:49 - What’s the economic fallout of Australia's housing problem? 14:24 - How instrumental is Victoria’s oversupply to their current state of affairs? 16:13 - When is it useful to consider Australia as one market versus dozens? 18:11 - Can we just cut migration to fix the housing problem? 21:09 - Why does Australia obsess over economic growth? Is it really that necessary? 27:03 - Australia’s long-term economic outlook 30:01 - Do you think recession is a real risk for Australia? 32:19 - What’s really happening with inflation? 37:05 - Has the post-pandemic economy outgrown old benchmarks like the RBA's inflation target? 39:12 - Will the upcoming election shift housing policy? 41:21 - Diana Mousina’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Diana Mousina is the Deputy Chief Economist at AMP, where she leads macroeconomic research and market analysis to guide investment strategy. With a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Finance from the University of New South Wales, she brings over a decade of experience in economic forecasting, funds management, and public commentary.

  • Can AI Really Decode Planning Regulations for Property Developers?

    Can AI Really Decode Planning Regulations for Property Developers?
    2025/04/06
    Trying to work out what’s actually possible on a development site can be an absolute nightmare. So in this episode, we’re joined by Will Sullivan from PropCode to talk about how AI might be able to help. We dig into how tech is being used to speed up the research process, reduce the need to spend hours on council websites (or pay $250 an hour to a planner), and pull together planning rules that are otherwise hidden across PDFs, maps, and inconsistent formats. We talk through how PropCode works, what it can do—and just as importantly, where it stops. It’s not replacing town planners or council staff, but it can give homeowners, investors, and developers a clearer sense of what they’re working with before diving in too deep or spending money on the wrong site. We also unpack the major planning reforms in New South Wales and how they’re set to impact development potential around train stations and local centres. Will explains why not every site will benefit equally, and why developers still have to think hard about feasibility—because just being zoned for six stories doesn’t automatically mean a windfall. If you’re buying, selling, renovating, or developing property in NSW, or just want to understand how AI fits into the planning space, this is a great one to tune in to. We’ve also included a link to PropCode’s free tool in the show notes—it’s worth checking out. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:04 - Who is Will Sullivan? 02:13 - What is the Mecone Mosaic planning tool, what does it do, and how is it being applied? 03:26 - What sparked the idea behind Propcode? 05:49 - Who Propcode is actually built for 07:22 - How PropCode deals with subjective elements like heritage and conservation areas 10:49 - Propcode’s limitations: An outline of what it can’t automate yet 17:01 - What happens when state policy overrides council rules? 18:52 - Are planning reforms making Propcode more essential than ever? 24:47 - How Propcode helps you understand development potential of neighbouring sites 29:10 - How Propcode surfaces hidden planning details you might miss 35:35 - What urban planners can learn from the insurance industry 41:45 - Can AI lead to smarter, more strategic urban planning? 49:50 - Is the planning process one of the major roadblocks to building more homes? 51:48 - Will Sullivan’s property dumbo About Our Guest: Will Sullivan is the CEO of PropCode, bringing a unique background that blends expertise in urban planning, data analysis, and natural hazards. With over seven years in the planning industry, including key work at Mecone Consulting where he developed the widely-used Mecone Mosaic mapping tool, Will has advised both government and private sector clients across Australia. His earlier experience in the insurance sector studying natural hazards informs his approach to the built environment, giving him a deep understanding of how environmental risks intersect with planning decisions.

    2025/03/30
    Melbourne’s property market has been through a lot lately — ups, downs, and now a bit of a bounce. Is this a genuine turnaround, or just a brief shift before more challenges arise? In this episode, we chat with Cate Bakos, a seasoned Melbourne property market specialist who knows the city’s market dynamics better than most. Cate shares what she’s seeing at the coalface — from interstate investors jumping in to locals cautiously testing the waters.

Cate also touches on the challenges investors are facing, like rising land taxes and stricter rental regulations. It’s a complicated picture, and there’s a lot to consider. If you’ve been curious about whether Melbourne’s market has truly found its feet or if this is just a momentary shift, you should listen to this episode.
