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.

Decode Flood Maps Before You Buy (Civil Works Engineers – Roger Andrade)Flood Maps Don’t Lie… But You Might Be Misreading Them!
Every week, developers walk away from great deals or worse, walk into disaster zones all because they don’t know how to read a flood overlay properly.
Flood-affected properties are one of the most common issues uncovered during due diligence. And yet, most people treat flood maps like a red flag instead of a roadmap. The real danger isn’t the flood itself it’s the misunderstanding of what the data means.
Here’s the kicker: just because a site sits in a flood zone doesn’t mean it’s a write-off. In fact, with the right knowledge, some of these sites present massive upside if you know how to navigate the constraints.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, Roger Andrade our Industry Expert will cut through the confusion and show you:
- An easy way to spot potential issues and opportunities
- That a property appearing as flood-affected on a flood map does not necessarily mean it has experienced flooding
- How to understand the map, unlock the potential
- And present three case studiesWhether you're doing your first feasibility or your fiftieth, this session will sharpen your due diligence skills and help you separate real risk from imagined roadblocks.
Because when it comes to development, it’s not about avoiding flood zones it’s about knowing how to work with them.
Don’t let bad intel kill a good deal. Join us and learn how to flood-proof your strategy before you even buy.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
Lift, Shift, Reno and Subdivide (Lynda Kelly)690m2, NGZ, Margate, Moreton Bay Regional Council, Queensland
Stepping into a new region as a property developer can feel like starting from scratch. You lose your trusted team and suddenly you’re relying on unfamiliar consultants, trades, and advice. Sounds manageable until it’s not and it all goes sideways.
That’s what happened Lynda Kelly. After moving into a new area, her consulting crew had to be rebuilt. The first Town Planner? Gave poor advice and delivered a less appealing approval with high. The Civil Engineer overdesigned the sewer plan and wasn’t interested in negotiating with her or Unity Water. The builder, one of four tendered and the last one standing. Young, talented, but inexperienced in business. Four months over schedule… then into liquidation when Lynda sought Liquidated Damages. The house raise did not go to plan and provides more learnings to share.
The project was a battle of bad advice, inflated costs, delays, damage and risk coming from all angles. The kind of experience that can wipe out a margin and push even experienced developers to the edge.
Instead of walking away, Lynda found ways to fight back and win. With a smart approach to negotiation, a strong eye for solutions and design teamed with the resilience to navigate chaos, Lynda not only salvaged the project, but came out of it with battle-tested insights every developer needs to hear.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, Lynda will walk you through:
-Red flags for poor-performing consultants early
-Negotiation skills to push back on over-engineered solutions
-What to do when your consultants or builder goes off track or under
-How to rebuild your team in a new region without getting burnedThis isn’t theory. It’s boots-on-the-ground experience from someone who took the hits and is here to help you avoid them.
If you’ve ever said, “It won’t happen to me” this session is for you.
Come and learn how to protect your project, your profits, and your peace of mind.
Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
