The countdown is on for the National Festival of Design 2025 and this year, it’s all about giving designers the knowledge, tools, and connections to lead Australia’s housing future.
Join us on the Sunshine Coast from 30 October to 1 November for the 2025 National Festival of Design, a powerful three-day event spotlighting the real issues impacting Australia’s built environment. From modular and sustainable housing to affordability and design innovation, this is your chance to connect with the people shaping the future of Australian housing.
This year’s festival focuses on one of the most critical challenges facing Australia: housing affordability. Under the theme "From Shortage to Solution: Shaping Australia's Housing Future", the conference will explore the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the housing crisis. Through expert talks, panels and interactive discussions, delegates will gain insight into how design can drive real and lasting solutions.
We still have several discounted rooms available. If you are still looking for accomodation options, reach out to [email protected] for more information.
