INTRODUCTION

The first PRRES conference was held in Melbourne on 23-25th January 1995, at RMIT. Previous conferences were held under the auspices of the Real Estate Educators Association. In the intervening years many changes have occurred in both the property market and the academic discipline that supports it. The major theme of this conference will focus on issues concerning these changes and how the industry and academic researchers are meeting the challenge.

PRRES 05 will kick-off with the customary cocktail party and reception on Sunday evening, 23rd January and will be followed by a jam-packed 3-day programme consisting of academic and industry presentations. This year Australia Day occurs in the middle of the conference, Wednesday 26th January, and the formal programme will be suspended to allow delegates to participate in the Australia Day celebrations and have an opportunity to enjoy the charm and beauty of Summer in Melbourne. The Day will conclude with a traditional Aussie Bar-B-Que when head chef Jon Robinson will prepare a great feast of snags, shrimps and chops with all the trimmings. If you play a musical instrument and can sing a song befitting the occasion you may be discovered.
