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 sections, 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, 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, successes 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 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.

Design Smarter Beat 7 Star Cost Blowouts! Comfort Smart (Brett Schiller)Is Your 7-Star Compliance Quietly Killing Your Profit?
You’ve found a great site. The numbers stack. You’re ready to move forward…
Then suddenly energy efficiency requirements tighten, and your build costs start creeping up.
Energy reports come back late.
Design changes get forced on you.
Windows, shading, orientation, things you should’ve locked in early, now cost you time and money.
Before you know it, your margins are getting squeezed… and your “profitable” deal doesn’t feel so profitable anymore.
Here’s the truth:
Most mum and dad developers aren’t losing money because of bad deals.
They’re losing it because they didn’t plan for 7-Star compliance early enough.
That’s exactly why you need to hear from Brett Schiller from Comfort Smart.
Brett is going to show you how to design smarter from day one so you can meet 7-Star requirements without blowing your budget.
In this session, you’ll discover:
• What the 7-Star energy efficiency requirements actually mean for your next project
• The key design and site factors that can make or break compliance
• How orientation, windows, and shading can work for you—not against you
• Practical ways to bring the “good heat” in while keeping costs down
• How to reduce the cost of compliance (without compromising your design)
• When you can leverage 6-Star concessions for small allotmentsAnd most importantly...
How to avoid the costly mistake of leaving energy assessments too late, which can force redesigns, delays, and serious budget blowouts.
If you want to stay profitable in a 7-Star world, you can’t afford to “figure it out later.”
Don’t miss this session! It could be the difference between a deal that works… and one that doesn’t.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 3 Subdivision & Build (Sudi Gorle)
648m2, Findon, South AustraliaOne Property. Two Outcomes. Zero Headaches.
You've found the right site. The numbers work. You're ready to move.
Then reality sets in council conditions you didn't expect trees that can't be touched, planning approvals that drag, and a settlement timeline that starts slipping. What looked straightforward suddenly feels like it's unravelling.
If you've been there, you're not alone.
That's exactly what Sudi Gorle faced on his latest 1-into-3 subdivision and build. The difference? He found a way through every hurdle keeping the renovation on time, on budget, and delivering two profitable outcomes from a single property.
In this session, Sudi will walk you through:
• A creative acquisition strategy that secured the site with minimal friction
• How to manage council requirements without letting them derail your timeline
• Keeping renovations on track when approvals don't go to plan
• Real lessons from a real deal delivered on time, on budget, and on profitIf council, approvals, or unexpected delays have ever stalled one of your projects, this is the session that shows you how to push through.
Practical. Relatable. Packed with insights you can apply to your next deal.
Don't miss this Real Deal session.
Push your journey forward and come in-person to network with like-minded Developers!
See you all soon!
