Property Australia is Australia’s leading property
magazine. Together with its associated weekly
email newsletter (Property Week) and website
(propertyoz.com.au), it is the Property Council’s
primary means of communication with members
and representatives.
About the Property Council
The Property Council of Australia is the leading
advocate for Australia’s $600 billion property
industry.
It counts the bulk of the nation’s major investors,
property owners and developers—as well as
the industry’s professional service and trade
providers—among its members.
A five-year strategy—Powerhouse 3D:
New Dimensions
The Property Council’s five-year strategy,
Powerhouse 3D: New Dimensions, recognises
the need to operate in a more politically charged
environment and a more competitive marketplace.
Powerhouse 3D aims to foster a more attractive
property asset class by delivering member
programs that will:
• secure greater political influence that serves
members’ business interests
• forge a more connected, informed and
professional property industry
• enhance the industry’s image.
Five reasons to advertise in Property Australia
1. Influential readers—Property Australia readers are
among Australia’s most senior and influential executives,
literally responsible for shaping our nation. With high-level
decision-making responsibilities, it’s no surprise that this is
an exceptionally high-income and high-net worth audience.
2. Active, engaged audience—71% of readers read every
issue of the magazine.* The email newsletter reaches a highly
engaged audience of over 53,000 subscribers each week.
And 60,000 visitors hit the website each month, mining the
news, analysis, data and vital events information available. This
is an audience that relies on the Property Council as a trusted
and authoritative source of information.

the bold new look and editorial structure of the magazine

and more active reader engagement across the portfolio.
Property Australia is a powerful and sophisticated
environment in which to maximise advertiser impact.
