Construction in Kingston

Are you an aspiring builder, a tradie, or part of a small to medium-sized construction company?

In partnership with Registered Builders Network (RBN) we invite you to attend this essential event aimed at navigating the evolving construction landscape.

The event will bring together local construction businesses, industry experts, and suppliers to explore the major changes shaping the future of building in Victoria.

Attendees can expect to hear from industry leaders, participate in a moderated Q&A session, and connect with peers facing similar challenges. The event will feature local suppliers and a variety of food vans to enjoy throughout the evening.

This event is a valuable opportunity for Kingston’s local construction community to stay ahead of industry changes. Council recognises the important role that local tradies and construction businesses play in supporting the city’s growth and development. As the industry continues to evolve, Council is committed to supporting these businesses by providing access to the tools, knowledge and networks they need to succeed.
