BOINZ 2026 Symposium - BUILDING VALUE

The building surveying and consent environment is evolving at pace. With this comes both opportunity and challenge – and the need for fresh thinking, practical solutions, and innovative approaches.

The 2026 BOINZ Symposium theme is BUILDING VALUE, exploring the forces reshaping our sector and the role we play in creating trusted, resilient spaces where our communities live, work, and play.

This is more than a conversation about change – it’s about equipping our sector to lead through change. Together, we will share expertise, highlight innovation and technical information, and showcase the critical value that our institute, members, and stakeholders contribute to the built environment.
