INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Land & Environment Appeals! Macpherson Kelley (Emma Fleming)

Are You Letting Council Rules Limit Your Next Deal?

You’ve found a great site. The numbers stack. You’re ready to move forward…

Then council pushes back.

Planning rules shift.

And what looked like a straightforward approval turns into delays, redesigns, and uncertainty.

Density gets questioned. Timelines blow out.

And suddenly, your “great deal” is stuck… while others seem to get projects through.

Here’s the truth:

Most mum and dad developers don’t lose money on bad sites…

They lose it because they don’t know how to navigate and push the planning system.

That’s why you need to hear from Emma Fleming from Macpherson Kelley.
In this session, you’ll discover:

• The major reforms reshaping the NSW planning system right now
• Key amendments to the Environment Planning and Assessment Act 1979
• How government changes are driving increased housing supply
• Where developers can push the boundaries (and where they can’t)
• Common mistakes that lead to delays, rejections, and missed opportunities

And most importantly…

How to assess your deals based on where the system is going—not where it’s been.

Don’t miss this session! It could be the difference between a project that gets approved… and one that doesn’t.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
Development Approval Flip (Stan Lee)
686m2, Ettalong Beach, New South Wales

One Project. Two Decisions. Millions in Lessons.

You've found a great site. The uplift is approved. The quick profit is sitting right in front of you. Time to cash out.

Then reality sets in. Partners want different things. Other projects demand your attention. The easiest option becomes taking the money now and moving on. What feels like a smart exit today can become the profit you regret tomorrow.
If you've ever wondered whether to sell or build, you're not alone.

That’s exactly what Stan Lee faced on a beachside development site just 230 metres from the ocean, with direct water views and massive upside potential. The difference? He had approvals in place, finance options available, and a proven design ready to go but the project was sold before the full value was realised.

In this session, Stan will walk you through:

• How a repeatable development strategy created the opportunity
• Why partnership dynamics can shape your exit decisions
• The hidden profit that can be lost by selling too soon
• What he would do differently with the benefit of hindsight
• Real lessons from a real deal with money left on the table

If you've ever questioned whether to take the quick win or hold for the bigger upside, this is the session that will challenge your thinking.

Practical. Honest. Packed with lessons you can apply to your next deal.

A Real Deal Not to be missed!
