INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
VCAT Visuals That Make or Break Projects – Stan Zaslavsky (Eagle Vision)
Ever found yourself staring down the barrel of a VCAT hearing and realising your project’s future hinges on visual amenity evidence that you’re not 100% confident in? And what the hell does “visual amenity evidence” actually mean and why it can make or break your project at VCAT? Put simply, it’s the photomontages and visual representations used to show the Tribunal how your development will impact the streetscape, neighbourhood character, and views of surrounding properties. Sounds straightforward… but the reality is, if it’s not prepared correctly, your entire case can fall apart.
Too many developers leave this to chance, thinking their lawyers or planners will sort it out only to discover the visuals don’t follow prescribed guidelines, the methodology doesn’t stack up, or the evidence gets thrown out completely. That’s thousands of dollars wasted and months of delays.
This month, we’ve brought in Stan Zaslavsky from Eagle Vision one of Victoria’s leading experts in visual amenity photomontages. With over 13 years of experience and hundreds of successful projects under his belt, he takes a precise, engineering-led approach to ensure your evidence is bulletproof when challenged.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- What visual amenity evidence is—and why it’s critical at VCAT
- The biggest mistakes developers make when appointing consultants
- Key timeframes to keep your project on track
- Case studies showing how the right (or wrong) approach changes outcomes
- The proven methodology behind watertight visual amenity evidence
If you want your development to be seen in the best light at VCAT literally and figuratively this is a session you can’t afford to miss.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:

Ever felt like your project had a target on its back? You secure the site, lock in approvals, and think you’re on track then bam! The market shifts, construction costs climb, or the world grinds to a halt (thanks, COVID). Suddenly, that “simple” development becomes a minefield of delays, redesigns, and tough calls.
That’s the rollercoaster our Real Deal speaker, 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗟𝘃𝗼𝘃𝘀𝗸𝘆, had to ride. She picked up an off-market duplex site with a delayed settlement, nailed her permits, and got construction running smoothly. But no matter how sharp your strategy, curveballs still come, unfortunately COVID stalled progress, designs had to change, and by the time the project hit the market, buyers weren’t biting.
So what do you do when the perfect plan unravels?
Polina is laying it all out on the table:
- How she delivered a duplex townhouse project against the odds
- The pivots, the pitfalls, and the payoffs along the way
- The key lessons every developer needs to hear
This is the kind of Real Deal that saves you from repeating the same mistakes and sharpens your game for the next opportunity.
This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!
See you all soon!
