The Property Council of Australia seminar will review issues impacting the cost of housing for all home buyers.
PCA Hunter director Anita Hugo said the issues at stake included taxes, charges, levies and the "hidden costs" entrenched in NSW's planning framework.
Ms Hugo said the event would look at how governments could ease the tax burden and how planning processes could be streamlined to help bring more housing to market.
Industry speakers at the NEX event, which starts at 12 noon, are from Urbis, Compass Housing, Barr Property and the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation.
