According to him, “a healthy property sector has been a crucial support to economic growth and can be expected to play a vital role in Australia’s recovery in these unprecedented times.”

“Victoria is critical to this as our second-biggest residential property market with 30 percent of Australian capital cities and 20 percent of Australia’s rental market, and nearly 80,000 dwelling sales annually.”

He added that they are devoted to collaborating with Australian governments to control the risks in the wake of the pandemic. “We understand that other sectors are able to conduct similar activities and believe the real estate industry should be provided a level playing field,” he concluded.
