About us
Started in 2012, Property Developer Network runs monthly education and networking events in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane to assist you on your Property Development journey. We also run online support groups, formal education & mentoring programs, have access to massive discounts from a ton of suppliers & much much more.
The intent of the monthly events is to bring together the collective experience, thoughts and ideas of like minded individuals to assist each other to achieving our goals in Property Development. Our unique format caters from absolute novices to full time professionals with something to cater for every level of experience.

We have built quite a reputation in helping to kick start peoples Property Development careers, or lift the trajectory for those already on their way. Having seen a number of our members leave their day jobs to transition to full time Property Development, and a hell of a lot more that are well on their way. Having said that, the group is not just for beginners, we have a number of long time developers in the group at the bigger end of town also with everyone able to gain from the collective experience of the group.
Our meetings typically consist 3 distinct section, an Industry Expert, a Real Deal & finally a Masterminding process.
Our Industry Experts are people that you will need in your property development team, with them giving guidance and advise on the relevant topic of the month. In the past we have had Town Planners, Civil Engineers, Property Lawyers, Accountants, Architects, University Lecturers, Project Managers, Experienced Developers, Property Managers, Financial Planners, Valuers, Brisbane City Council, Surveyors, Commercial Lenders & more. These experts love helping those with a thirst for knowledge and an attitude to succeed and we have been blessed with the quality of these speakers who keep lining up wanting to present at our group.
The Real Deals allow you to learn from projects that others have done within our group. Learn from their experience, success' and mistakes before you do it yourself. You get to see warts and all what went right, what went wrong and the profit that was able to be achieved out to the deal. There is nothing better than seeing the real thing to know that you can do the same for yourself.
We typically finish with a Mastermind process, with each person able to seek assistance from the collective knowledge of the group in how to overcome any current obstacles. Sometimes your problem might be as simple as not knowing where to start, or how to learn the development process, whilst other times it might be as complex as a specific problem that you are having withing your current deal. Either way, the group is here to help, with all of us moving forward as a result.
OH - And we always kick on socially after the event for a few beverages so please make sure you have plenty of time to hang around and mingle with your peers.
Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

NSW Planning Shake-Up: Stay up to date! PropCode (Will Sullivan)Is the NSW Planning System Changing Faster Than You Can Keep Up?
Trying to keep up with planning changes in NSW right now can feel like aiming at a moving target. Just when you think you’ve worked out the rules, the government rolls out new pathways, new housing policies, and new approval processes.
The problem? If you don’t understand how these changes affect your projects, it’s easy to get caught out.
You might overlook a site that actually has far more development potential under the new rules. You might run a feasibility based on yesterday’s planning controls. Or worse, you could spend months chasing approvals, only to realise there was a faster pathway available the whole time.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, we’re bringing in Will Sullivan from PropCode to unpack what’s really happening inside the NSW planning system right now and what it means for mum and dad developers on the ground.
Will will break down the latest planning changes and approval pathways, including:
• Low- and Mid-Rise Housing reforms
• Transport Oriented Development (TOD) changes
• Pattern Book low-rise (CDC) and mid-rise (DA) pathways
• EPA Act reforms including CDC variances
• Targeted assessment Development Applications
• The Housing Delivery Authority
• The Development Coordination AuthorityBut most importantly, he’ll translate all of this into plain English, so you understand how these changes impact your next subdivision, duplex, townhouse, or small unit development.
If you want to stay ahead of the game instead of relying on outdated advice or guesswork, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
22 Rooming House (Kthryn & Kenneth Bondoc)
970m2, MU1, Cardiff, New South WalesEver started a deal thinking you’ve got the perfect strategy… only to realise the numbers just don’t work?
It happens more often than you think. You spend months working through a Development Application, running feasibility after feasibility, and then reality hits, the project simply doesn’t stack up the way you planned. Then come the delays… council approvals dragging on… and lenders scratching their heads because your project doesn’t fit neatly in their box.
This is where many mum and dad developers get stuck.At our next meetup, Kthryn and Kenneth Bondoc will walk you through a real project where the original plan — a mixed use commercial and residential development — simply didn’t work. Instead of forcing a bad deal, the sibling duo pivoted the strategy and transformed the project into a new generation boarding house development.
But that pivot came with its own challenges.
Long approval timeframes for the DA, complex funding because of the asset class, and the need to rethink the entire project strategy. The good news? Once the approvals were in place, the tender and construction phase ran incredibly smoothly.
In this Real Deal presentation, Kthryn and Kenneth will share the behind-the-scenes reality of the project, including:
• Why the original townhouse strategy didn’t stack up
• How they identified a better development strategy
• The approval hurdles that slowed the project down
• The complexities of funding a non-standard asset
• How the project came together during construction
• How they secured a headlease with a disability providerIf you’ve ever had a deal that didn’t quite go to plan or you want to learn how experienced developers adapt when the numbers change, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
Because sometimes the best deals aren’t the ones that go perfectly…
They’re the ones where you pivot, adapt, and make the deal work.
Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
