What we’re about
Started in 2012 as 5 mates trying to help each others projects succeed, Property Developer Network (PDN) is now the largest national networking group for up and coming Property Developers running monthly networking events in Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane to assist you on your Property Development journey.
PDN also run online support groups, facebook communities, formal education & mentoring programs, have access to massive discounts from a ton of suppliers & much much more.
The intent of these 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.

Construction cost Savings..... China? (Property Developer Network – Rob Flux)Sick of skyrocketing build costs and trades that don’t show up?
You’re not alone. With margins getting tighter and timelines blowing out, many developers are starting to feel the squeeze and wondering if there’s a smarter way to build.
Well, what if the solution isn’t here… but over in China?
Fresh off the plane from the Canton Fair, Rob Flux has been deep in the trenches investigating cutting-edge materials, prefab tech, and scalable build solutions that could seriously disrupt how we develop property in Australia. And at this month’s meetup, he’s sharing everything.
Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at what’s coming out of the world’s biggest trade expo and how savvy developers can tap into global supply chains to cut costs, speed up builds, and stay ahead of the game.At this month’s meetup Rob will Share:
What prefab housing really looks like in 2025 and how to spot the good from the gimmicks
Innovative materials you’ve never heard of but should absolutely know about
Real-world supplier connections that Rob vetted on the ground
If you're ready to think outside the box and start building smarter, this is a session you won't want to miss!
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 3 Townhouses (Mark Shearwood)807m2,GR1, Nhill, Hindmarsh Shire Council, Victoria
Ever Had a Deal Go Off the Rails?
Maybe it was council red tape...
Maybe it was a nightmare neighbour...
Or maybe everything looked like it was going to plan until it wasn’t.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, we're bringing in a Real Deal Speaker Mark Shearwood who’s been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale. This is the kind of story most people keep quiet about… but he’s laying it all on the table, so you don’t make the same mistakes.Hear from Mark what started out as a straightforward project but turned into an absolute nightmare and how he overcome the challenges thrown at him:
– Issues with council from day one
– A neighbour dispute that got ugly
– Council overstepping their legal powers
– A full-blown court case just to get things moving again
– The mindset that kept him in the game
– The legal strategies that turned the tideA 2.5-year delay that would have crippled most developers. But not this one. Instead of walking away or wearing the loss, he took the fight to council, won in court, and came out the other side with an even stronger position. In fact, he’s now running 18 projects in the same area, armed with the hard-won experience that only comes from living through the pain.
Let’s face it property development isn’t always pretty. But it’s the tough lessons that separate the hobbyists from the professionals.
If you’re serious about this game, you can’t afford to miss this meetup.
Come along, take notes, and be ready to ask questions because this one’s going to be raw, real, and full of gold.This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!
See you all soon!
