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.

INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Unlock Construction Finance Without Pre-Sales! Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (Deputy Secretary Leon Walker)

Your DA is in hand, but lenders won’t move until you hit pre-sales. Projects stall. Costs rise. The NSW Government’s new $1B Pre-sale Finance Guarantee is designed to break the deadlock and get construction moving.

Here’s how it works: The Government commits to purchasing up to 50% of dwellings in eligible NSW projects at a discount to market value. That commitment satisfies lender pre-sale hurdles so you can secure funding and start building. You can then on-sell those dwellings to private buyers at full value before completion.

This month, Leon will cover:
• How you can find out if your project will qualify
• How the renounceable commitment meets lender pre-sales and lets you on-sell before or at completion
• How pricing and discounts are set, and what impacts the numbers
• The 5-step application from lender requirement to drawdown
• Fees to budget for application, establishment, and line fees (and how risk affects them)
• What assessors look for project merits and developer track record
• Practical strategies stock selection, lender engagement, and cash flow planning

If pre-sales are holding you back, this session shows how to use the Pre-sale Finance Guarantee to satisfy lenders and keep your pipeline moving.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 14 Land Subdivision (Steve Maroun)
7800m2, R2, Greystanes, New South Wales

Every developer dreams of a smooth subdivision but the reality is, even the simplest projects can quickly turn into a battlefield.

For Steve Maroun, his 14-lot subdivision looked straightforward on paper. Stage 1 started strong, with six lots sold as house-and-land packages and Stage 2 set to deliver another eight. But the journey was far from easy.

What should have been a clear run soon turned into a grind: council battles over trees on a sloping block, a 120-metre sewer line upgrade that dragged on for nine months with Sydney Water, and when Stage 2 began, things escalated even further mature trees, a local petition, and even the local MP stepping in to oppose the project.

So, how do you keep a deal alive when infrastructure hurdles, council red tape, and community pushback are all working against you?

At this month’s Meetup, Steve will reveal:
- The highs, the setbacks, and the lessons he learned along the way
- How he navigated Sydney Water’s requirements
- The strategies he used to negotiate with neighbours, council, and even an MP

If you’re considering a larger lot subdivision, this is one Meetup you can’t afford to miss. Steve’s story is packed with real-world insights that every mum-and-dad developer needs before tackling their own subdivision.

Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!

See you all soon!
