What we’re about
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.

Payment Security Pitfalls (Moray & Agnew Lawyers - Joshua Murgatroyd)Have you heard about the Security of Payment legislation?
It’s important - This legislation can single-handedly DESTROY your project!
A lack of understanding regarding Security of Payment legislation can lead to serious ramifications for your project and leave you liable for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in unfounded claims brought by builders! Don't fall victim to costly mistakes!
Join us for this eye-opening presentation by Joshua Murgatroyd from Moray & Agnew Lawyers, as he addresses some critical knowledge gaps about the Security of Payment Legislation in the construction industry:
1. Overview of the Security of Payment legislation across jurisdictions.
2. The relationship between Security of Payment legislation and your construction contract.
3. Best practice when responding to a payment claim.
4. An overview of the adjudication process.
5. A case analysis.Common Ramifications:
- Liability for unfounded claims, leading to financial losses.
- Complex and expensive construction litigation proceedings.
- Time-consuming efforts to recover overpayments.If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are not intending to pay 100% of your builder's claim – you NEED TO KNOW about this!
Come along to this Meetup to gain valuable insights to safeguard yourself from falling foul of this little-known piece of legislation!
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
Dual Occupancy (Stan Lee)686 sqm, R2 Low Density Residential, Epping, City of Parramatta, New South Wales
Getting funding for a project can be tricky at the best of times! Throw in a change in lending standards post-Banking Industry Royal Commission… it caused big hurdles for Stan with this project!
Luckily Stan was able to secure a fixed-price 2020 build contract, sidestepping Covid-19 supply issues and price hikes, which paved the way for a relatively smooth 15-month construction despite navigating multiple Covid-19 lockdowns.
However, there were also several stumbling blocks along Stan’s path with this project:
- Stormwater Engineer couldn’t work with the Architect’s 3-storey design.
- Major bank valuation for construction was much lower than expected.
- Changing lending standards post-Royal Commission posed additional hurdles.
- Unforeseen costs emerged, including soil contamination issues during excavation.
- Navigated construction amidst COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, with last-minute curveballs affecting sales results!Join us as Stan Lee reveals the behind-the-scenes story of this high-end build project, offering invaluable insights and lessons learned along the way to achieving the second-highest price for a Dual Occupancy in Epping!
Don't miss this opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge from a seasoned developer!
Mastermind your challenges at our upcoming Meetup!
See you all soon!
