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.

Virtual: 2pm (Brisbane time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Freight Forwarding & Importing Made Simple! Stockwell’s (Jack Stockwell)Your property development looks profitable. But what happens when your imported materials don’t arrive on time or cost far more than expected?
You’ve found the site. Your plans are in place. You’re ready to build, and importing materials from overseas looks like a great way to manage costs.
Then shipping costs blow out. Deliveries are delayed. Australian Customs or biosecurity issues bring your materials to a standstill, and suddenly your construction programme is under pressure. Your holding costs keep climbing, your trades are waiting, and your profit margin is taking a hit.
Many mum-and-dad developers assume their overseas suppliers will take care of everything. But what if something goes wrong? Who is looking after your interests here in Australia? And do you understand the shipping, customs and biosecurity requirements that could derail your project?
Because importing isn't just about finding cheaper materials. It’s about getting the right products to the right place, at the right time, without expensive surprises.
So, would you know how to manage the importing process correctly? And would you recognise the risks before they start costing you money?
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Jack Stockwell from Stockwell’s will present on Importing for Property Development: How to Avoid Costly Mistakes and Delays.
You’ll gain insights into:
• The big picture of importing and what property developers need to understand before getting started
• Understanding Incoterms and knowing who is responsible for what
• Buying from multiple suppliers and coordinating deliveries to suit your construction programme
• FCL versus LCL shipping and when each option makes sense
• Australian Customs and biosecurity requirements, including the risks developers often overlook
• Getting your containers from port to construction site, including delivery options and staged deliveries
• Common importing mistakes that lead to unexpected costs, project delays and expensive surprises
• A real-world case study and how Stockwell can help simplify the importing processMost importantly, you’ll learn why having the right Australian freight forwarder in your corner can help you navigate the process, protect your interests and keep your development moving.
Because successful property development isn't just about buying materials at the right price. It's about getting them to site when you need them, avoiding costly mistakes and protecting the profit you worked so hard to create.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 14 Lot Subdivision (Mohammad Araghian)
2.39HA, Bethania, QueenslandYou’ve found the site. Potential to Subdivide into 16 lots.
The numbers stack up. The potential is there. What could go wrong?
You’re ready to move forward.
Sounds straightforward, right?
Then development reality kicks in
The wrong engineer. Changing flood levels. Council changing its position not once, but twice.
And suddenly, what should have been a straightforward approval process drags on for years.
Here’s what many mum-and-dad developers don’t realise
Even when you do your homework, things can change and your deal can be at risk.
Mohammad Araghian experienced these challenges firsthand.
After securing the site, he faced years of delays trying to obtain OPW approval. His initial engineer proved unsuitable for the job, finding a replacement wasn't easy, flood levels changed, and Council shifted its position along the way.
The project even lost two lots.
So, what kept the deal moving forward
Significant growth in the surrounding area helped compensate for the lost lots, while patient investors stood by despite the delays.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Mohammad will share the real story behind his development, including:
• The challenges he faced navigating the approval process
• What went wrong with the engineering and how it affected the project
• How changing flood levels and Council decisions created unexpected hurdles
• How area growth helped offset the loss of two lots
• The lessons he'd share with other mum-and-dad developersBecause property development rarely goes exactly to plan.
The key isn't avoiding every problem. It's understanding how to navigate them without letting your deal fall apart.
Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
