Much has been said about Value Capture in Australia but to date genuine progress has been limited. The Prime Minister recently entered the debate with the following comment: “To fund the multi-billion-dollar rail projects, including high-speed rail links and potentially the Melbourne Metro, the government will promote the use of “value capture” financing, which leverages the increase in land value resulting from new transport infrastructure to contribute to its cost”. Perhaps the tide is turning and Value Capture might soon realise its potential in the Australian market. To stimulate the discussion on “the case for change” we have secured Martin Buck, Commercial Director from Crossrail in London. Martin will appear by video link. A Panel discussion will follow covering different perspectives on Value Capture.
