Discover what is happening in the next few days
Thoughtstorm® Session Topic: World Creativity & Innovation Day, Yarraville
Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness? We’d love you to join us to Thoughtstorm® the topic World Creativity and Innovation Day in the warm, friendly environment of the Yarraville Community Centre.
How Thoughtstorm came about
Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm.
What is it?
For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning.
The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a ‘Why, of course!’ reaction.
New insights guaranteed!
Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.
Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change?
Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together.
If it’s your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief prep call on Zoom to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures so we can all get started on time together.
**Agenda:**
4pm - Arrive, meet and greet, read over Thoughtstorm instructions
4.15pm - Begin the Thoughtstorm
5.15pm - Finish
When you RSVP we will be in touch with the details.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Fixing Construction dispute nightmares(William Pryor ADR) + Townhouses(Sunny)
**\*\*\*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:**
*Conflict-Proof Your Next Development Deal - William Pryor ADR (William Pryor)*
Every mum and dad developer goes into a project thinking,
“This one will run smoothly.”
Until it doesn’t.
A builder variation blows out. A payment claim gets disputed. Communication breaks down.
And before you know it… you’re in a dispute that’s draining time, money and energy.
Here’s the real problem.
Most developers don’t recognise they’re heading towards a dispute until it’s already escalated.
They let it fester. They avoid the hard conversation.
And small issues turn into expensive, cascading problems that can wipe out profit.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Industry Expert William Pryor from William Pryor ADR is going to show you how to stay in control.
William will cover:
• How to recognise the early warning signs that you’re heading towards a dispute
• The dispute resolution options available to you and when to use them
• The management tools you should have in place to avoid or minimise conflict
• How to choose the right resolution method (so you don’t make the situation worse)
• How to ensure your construction contracts contain clear, enforceable dispute resolution clauses before you ever start the build
Because choosing the wrong pathway can cost you tens of thousands and months of delay.
The biggest mistake developers make.
They let disputes drag on without structure. No clear process. No clear clauses. No clear strategy.
If you’re serious about protecting your margins, your timeline and your sanity, you won’t want to miss this session.
Because in property development, “it’s not …if challenges arise… It’s…. how well prepared you are to handle them".
**INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:**
*5 Townhouses (Sunny Katyal)*
*1040m2, GZ, Frankston, Victoria*
You’ve found a block online, zoned for development and the numbers look great. You think it’ll be smooth sailing until reality hits.
Sunny Katyal this month’s Real deal presenter knows exactly what that feels like when he secured a site in a general residential zone, planning a 5-townhouse project, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Lender delays, a builder going bankrupt, and the challenges of managing a project from a distance. Margins squeezed. Stress levels skyrocketed. What should have been a simple townhouse development turned into a real-world lesson in resilience and problem-solving.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Sunny will share the real, unfiltered story of this 5-townhouse project from purchase in 2020 to completion in 2026. You’ll learn:
• How he navigated lender issues without derailing his project
• How he managed builders and contractors to avoid costly setbacks
• How he handled managing his site from a distance
• The hard lessons and practical strategies he learned to keep the townhouse deal profitable
If you’re a mum-and-dad developer wanting to see the reality behind the numbers, avoid rookie mistakes, and learn strategies that actually work, Sunny’s story is not one to be missed.
***This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!***
See you all soon!

👫 Better Together: Social Drinks for Growth-Minded Couples
Join us for a relaxed networking drinks with other couples who value meaningful conversation, intentional living, and want to work on a business or a project together (or already are). This isn’t your average couples’ Meetup.
💡 **Please note:** This event is specifically for couples attending together. RSVPs without a +1 (partner) will be cancelled to keep the balance of the group.
📅 **il Mercato Centrale Melbourne**
**📍 Limited to 10 couples** so grab your spot early
🍷**Happy Hour** drink specials from 5:00pm
**💬 Conversation Starters**
Each time we meet includes a few rotating topics to spark insight and great chats:
* A habit that made your life better as a couple
* A travel story with a twist (funny, unique, or unexpected)
* Something you’re learning right now
* A tip on how to work with your partner's personality and communication styles
No need to prep, just come ready to connect. We’ll mix up seating halfway through so you meet more than just the couple beside you.
**🧠 Who This Is For**
* Couples into growth, learning, and intentional living
* Those building something together, or who want to
* People who want deeper connection, not surface-level chat
This isn’t networking. It’s real people and real convos. Just bring yourselves, curiosity, and an open mind. We’ll take care of the rest.
**👥 Hosted by Matt & Justine Stuckings**
Matt & Justine are the kind of couple who live for deep chats over food, spontaneous adventures, and connecting with people who live life on purpose.
Matt’s a 6’4 ex-photographer turned marketer and entrepreneur. He’s into Pickleball, boutique breweries, and discovering weird restaurants and books that make life (and business) better. If it helps him grow or gets him thinking differently, he’s probably already into it.
Justine’s a connector at heart. She’s a uni teacher and entrepreneur who loves mentoring, dancing, dark hot chocolate, and surrounding herself with people who think big and care deeply.
Together, they host events that feel relaxed but intentional, welcoming but meaningful. They started this event to find more of their people. Curious, kind, growth-minded couples who want more than just small talk.
