Members of the Australian Property Developers Association (APDA Inc.) were once again treated to some very exclusive and insightful presentations by the most reputable names in the Australian quantity surveying and construction risk management sector recently.

During the evening, Mr Julian Chai, the Associate-Director of NAB’s Construction Risk Management Department, was accompanied by another well-known professional, Mr Craig Smith, Director of national quantity surveying firm, Napier & Blakeley, who expertly shared on the effects the recent cladding crisis had had on the Australian construction and insurance sectors. Craig also shared upon the regulatory processes that were put in place in Victoria to prevent post-construction structural defects that had been dominating the front page of national news of late.

As a testament of its value and contribution toward the development community, APDA Inc. is supported and sponsored by some of the most well-known brand names inside and outside the property and development sector, such as CBRE, Urbis, Pitcher Partners, Best Hooper Lawyers, Payton, DLX Creative and your very own contemporary luxury publisher, EZ Australia. 

If you are a part of or interested to be a part of the Australian property development community, please feel free to join as a member or attend one of APDA functions by reserving tickets to upcoming events.

最近，澳大利亚房地产开发商协会(APDA Inc.)的成员们再次有幸参与独家且富有洞察力的介绍会，这是由澳大利亚工料测量和建筑风险管理行业中著名公司专员现身说法。

Julian Chai 先生身为本土任职时间最长、经验最丰富的风险管理专业人士之一，代表澳大利亚国家银行(NAB)担任介绍会主讲者。作为NAB建筑风险管理部门的副总监，Julian毫无保留地分享了银行业对当前市场上开发项目的评估选择，还有其相关建筑风险和隐患的看法。

他在会上提及的风险管理策略对所有在场开发者和建造者显得相当宝贵。当晚，Julian也连同另一位著名的专业人士—国家工程测量公司Napier & Blakeley的总监Craig Smith先生，后者熟练的解说了最近的镀层危机对澳大利亚建筑和保险行业的影响。Craig还提到了在维多利亚州实施的监管程序，以防止建设后的结构隐患，这些问题近期一直占据全国新闻的头版。

作为对发展社区价值和贡献的证明，APDA得到了房产和开发领域内外一些最知名品牌的支持和赞助，如CBRE、Urbis、
PitcherPartners、BestHooper Lawyers、Payton、DLX Creative
和当代奢华杂志《御智澳大利亚》出版商。

Did you know? 

Dementia is Australia’s second leading cause of death overall, and the leading cause of death for women. There is no cure. Every three seconds someone in the world develops dementia. When you consider the total worldwide cost of dementia was US$818 billion in 2015, if dementia was a country it would be the 18th largest economy! 

What can you do to help? Join us for our annual Memory Walk & Jog event! 

Memory Walk & Jog is Dementia Australia’s biggest national fundraising event. This year we are hoping to raise $1.3 million with over 10,000 participants nationally. 

Walk, jog or run – there’s a Memory Walk & Jog for everyone!

We are coming to you! Memory Walk & Jog is heading to 12 locations nationally in 2020 and four locations in Victoria including Mildura, Ballarat, Geelong and Melbourne. We’ve got a distance to suit you whether you walk, jog or run. 

Funds raised will go towards supporting Dementia Australia’s services including for those living with dementia, their families and carers, while at the same time supporting research for future medical breakthroughs and raising much needed awareness. 

Together, we get active, we fundraise, and we step up for people living with dementia to say, “You are not alone!”.

To register or find out more, visit us at memorywalk.com.au or call us on 1300 MWJ MWJ (695 695). 

We look forward to seeing you there! 

你是否知道？
作为澳大利亚第二大死亡病症Dementia-痴呆症(脑器质性精神障碍)，同时也是女性的主要死因，至今毫无治愈的方法。

全世界每三秒钟就有一个人患上痴呆症。考虑到2015年全球痴呆症的总成本是8180亿美元，如果把痴呆症比作一个国家，它将是第18大经济体!

你如何协助？请响应并加入我们的 Memory Walk & Jog 公益跑步活动，这是澳大利亚最大型的全国性痴呆症筹款活动。

今年我们希望在全国范围内募集130万澳元且拥有超过1万名参与者。

步行，慢跑或跑步-属于每个人的Memory Walk & Jog!
我们会走向你! 到2020年，Memory Walk & Jog 将在全国12个地方开展，其中维多利亚4个区域包括Mildura、Ballarat、Geelong和墨尔本。无论你是步行、慢跑还是跑步，我们都有最适合你的距离与方式。这对每个人来说是具有重大意义的活动，所以请带上全体家人参与。

而这项活动所筹集的资金将用于支持澳大利亚痴呆症服务，包括那些患有痴呆症的人、他们的家人和照顾者，同时支撑医学研究在未来可取得突破，还有提高急需的意识。

我们共同挺身而出跃动起来，为痴呆症患者筹款，以实际行动告诉他们：你并不孤独。
