The Real Estate Institute of Queensland has delivered a comprehensive property management training program in Papua New Guinea, in a bid to lift professional standards across the Pacific nation’s real estate sector.
In partnership with the Real Estate Industry Association of Papua New Guinea (REIA-PNG), the REIQ facilitated a two-day intensive property management course alongside a separate one-day workshop tailored for agency owners and business leaders.
The sessions were led by REIQ fellow and Bundaberg-based real estate agent Le-Anne Allan, who said the content had been adapted to meet the specific needs of property professionals operating in PNG’s real estate market.
“We’ve taken Queensland’s approach and tailored it to PNG’s unique market to equip professionals with the skills and systems to deliver reliable, professional services,” Allan said.
“The participants were incredibly engaged and motivated – from property managers and valuers to maintenance contractors, facilities managers, and business owners – all looking to improve service delivery and operate with more structure and accountability.”
REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said the institute had a longstanding relationship with its Papua New Guinean counterpart and was proud to continue supporting efforts to professionalise the local industry.
“The REIQ has a proud history of supporting the Real Estate Industry Association of PNG in its ambition to raise the bar of the local real estate sector,” Mercorella said.
“While PNG currently operates without formal sales or property management legislation, the appetite for best practice is clearly growing.”
REIA-PNG president Mike Quinn echoed the sentiment, describing the training as a critical step forward for the industry.
“The REIQ is providing us with an invaluable training opportunity and a unique ability for people in the real estate industry in PNG to engage in personal professional development,” he said.
“We’re pleased to have been able to work together towards building a stronger, more professional real estate sector through this partnership.”
Further collaboration between the two organisations is already in motion, with planning underway for another training delivery day in 2026.
