**Tickets ($10):** [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989156666135?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1989156666135?aff=oddtdtcreator) Tired of dating apps and craving something more human? We’re heading to **The 86** in Fitzroy for a fresh take on helping you connect with **women seeking women** (all ages 18+). Instead of intense one-on-one chats, you’ll connect in relaxed groups of four - making it easier to find your rhythm, bounce off others, and let conversation flow naturally. Every 15 minutes, we’ll reshuffle the groups at random to keep the energy fresh and the dynamics interesting. After a couple of hours, the structure will drop and anyone who’d like to stay can continue connecting organically. This format is ideal for women who: • Prefer something social and low-pressure • Enjoy group dynamics • Want something structured, but not rigid The event is facilitated by a mental health professional and is designed to feel welcoming and safe. Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated. If you have accessibility needs, questions, or are experiencing financial hardship, please reach out - we’re happy to chat.

* 🌏 **MELBOURNE → WARBURTON**🏙️ * 📅 **SUN 7 JUN, DAY TRIP** *☀️* * ✨**Nature, movement, and a touch of magic**.✨ \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **✨**🌿 **Escape to Dreamy Warburton — A Day to Breathe, Walk & Feel** Leave the city behind and step into a day where everything slows down. We begin with a gentle journey out of Melbourne, easing into nature with a relaxed coffee stop before arriving in the heart of Warburton. From here, the day unfolds naturally — a beautiful 10 km walk through forest trails, open views, and quiet moments along the way. No rush, just rhythm. We pause, we breathe, we take it all in. Midday brings local flavours at the farmers market, followed by a relaxed picnic with a fresh fruit platter — simple, nourishing, shared together. In the afternoon, we step into the magical Redwoods Forest — a place to slow down even more. A short guided meditation invites you to ground, breathe deeply, and reconnect. We continue with a peaceful river walk, a scenic countryside drive, and a final stop to taste the region’s fresh local produce — a sweet finish to a full and balanced day. As the sun begins to soften, we return to Melbourne — lighter, calmer, and with a heart full of good moments. *** ### ✨ **All included. No stress.

**\*\*\*RSVP PROCESS - CRITICAL INFO\*\*\*** Please be aware, we don't use the Meetup website to take RSVPs, so you will need to register on this link to lock in your place (bookings essential) - [https://propdev.info/uMKh](https://propdev.info/uMKh) We run events most weekends around Australia so you can attend either physically in your local area, or live-stream to any event around the country. **In-Person:** 1:30pm (Melbourne time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' **Virtual:** 2pm (Melbourne time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Get Council Onside From Day One! SUHO (Alison Fenton)* You’ve got a great site. The numbers stack. You’re ready to push ahead. Then council hits you with Environmentally Sustainable Design requirements you didn’t fully see coming. Different rules. Different reports. Different expectations depending on the council. Suddenly, what should be a straightforward planning approval turns into a maze of consultants, conflicting advice, and delays. Now you’re scrambling. Plans need to be reworked. Reports need to be redone. Costs start creeping up. And worst of all? Time blows out… putting your entire deal at risk. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This is exactly where most mum-and-dad developers get caught. They bring in ESD too late. They assume one report will cover everything. They miss simple, low-cost wins that councils are actually looking for. And it ends up costing them time, money, and momentum. That’s why we’ve brought in **Alison Fenton** from **SUHO**. In her session: You will learn how to cut through the noise and get this right from the start. So instead of delays and redesigns… you get smoother approvals and faster progress to building. Here’s what she’ll break down for you: • How to integrate ESD early (and why it changes everything) • Exactly what reports your site needs and what it doesn’t • The 10 Key Sustainable Development Categories and the easy wins most developers miss • How to align planning approval with your building permit from day one Walk away knowing how to simplify ESD, avoid costly mistakes, and keep your project moving forward. Because the developers who get this right? They don’t just get approvals faster. They build better projects and keep control of their deals. **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *1 Into 4 Townhouses (Vijay Ramasundaram)* *720m2, Glenroy, Victoria* One Site. Four Townhouses. Maximum Upside. You’ve found a site that works. The numbers stack up. You’ve got a clear plan… maybe a simple 1 into 2. Safe. Straightforward. Then reality kicks in. The market shifts. Feasibilities change. What once looked like a solid deal suddenly feels like it’s leaving money on the table. If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what **Vijay Ramasundaram** faced on this project. The difference? He didn’t lock himself into the original plan. He stayed flexible, reassessed the numbers, and adapted his strategy to suit the market. What started as a conservative approach evolved into a 1 into 4 townhouse development unlocking the site’s full potential with multiple exit strategies built in from day one. In this session, Vijay will walk you through: • How to secure a site with a clear strategy while keeping your options open • Why avoiding emotional attachment to your first plan can dramatically improve your outcome • Reassessing feasibility as market conditions shift • Turning a “good” deal into a great one by maximising the site’s flexibility If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting the most out of your site, this is the session that will challenge how you think about your next deal. Practical. Strategic. Focused on real outcomes. Don’t miss this Real Deal session. This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts! See you all soon!

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
