About UDIA NSW
The Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW (UDIA NSW) is the peak industry body representing the interests of all sectors involved in the urban development industry in NSW. UDIA NSW has over 500 member companies, a quarter of these are based in regional NSW. Our extensive Committee and Regional Chapter structure involves more than 120 of the development industry’s key stakeholders in policy formulation.
The residential sector of the industry alone contributes more than $15 billion worth of activity to the NSW economy annually and the property industry in general accounts for around 20 per cent of state.
