About us
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.

In-Person: 1:30pm (Brisbane time) to 'Mingle With The Expert'
Virtual: 2pm (Brisbane time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Don’t Let Infrastructure Kill Your Profit! Ampflo (David Flack)Think You Know What Your Subdivision Will Cost?
You’ve allowed for the land, consultant’s fees, council fees and construction.
But what about the cost of getting electricity, streetlighting and telecommunications to the development?
This is where some developers get caught out.
Because the costs from one project to the same type of job down the road can be very different.
And if you discover them too late, project feasibility can quickly change.
Unexpected infrastructure costs, delays, Additional design work. And potentially thousands of dollars in wasted time and expenditure
For mum and dad developers, these aren’t just technical issues… they can have a direct impact on the profitability of your project.
Here’s the truth:
No two subdivisions are the same
What worked on your last project may not work on your next one.
And assuming the electrical and telecommunications requirements will be similar could be an expensive mistake. That’s why you need to hear from David Flack from Ampflo.
In this session, you’ll discover:
• When you should engage an electrical and telecommunications consultant
• What information you need to have ready before engaging a consultant
• The key questions you should be asking your consultant
• What to look out for when planning your subdivision
• The common pitfalls that can increase costs and delay your project
• Why no two subdivisions are the same when it comes to infrastructure requirementsAnd most importantly…
How getting the right advice early, ideally before you commit to the property, could help you identify hidden costs, avoid expensive surprises and protect the feasibility of your development.
Don’t miss this session!
It could change the way you assess your next subdivision before you buy the site.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
𝟣 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝟥 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘚𝘶𝘣𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 (𝘑𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘺𝘴𝘰𝘯 & 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘴 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨)
𝟣𝟤𝟢𝟢𝘮𝟤, 𝘓𝘋𝘙, 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦, 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥You’ve found the site. The numbers stack up. You can already see the finished development.
One property becoming three.
Three new rooming houses.
Sounds straightforward, right?
Then the reality of development kicks in.
Sewer connections. Construction decisions. Unexpected issues.
And suddenly, the deal you thought was simple starts becoming a lot more complicated.
Here’s what many mum and dad developers don’t realise:
The deal rarely goes exactly to plan.
The developers who succeed aren’t necessarily the ones who avoid every problem.
They’re the ones who can spot opportunities, adapt and keep the numbers working when things change.
That’s exactly what 𝗝𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝘆𝘀𝗼𝗻 and 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘂𝘀 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 faced with their 𝟭 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟯 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 and construction of three rooming houses.
They used a creative acquisition strategy with delayed settlement, giving them greater flexibility from the outset.
They sold the existing house and shed, helping reshape the project and its feasibility.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
A sewer connection issue meant their original solution had to be reworked, creating another challenge they needed to solve.
So what happened next?
They adapted.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, 𝗝𝗼𝗻 and 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘂𝘀 will take you behind the scenes of this Real Deal and share:
• How they structured the acquisition with delayed settlement
• How selling the existing improvements helped the numbers
• The construction decisions they made along the way
• How they managed subdivision costs
• What went wrong with the sewer connection
• How they adapted when their original plans changed
• And the key lessons they learned throughout the projectBecause development isn’t about having a perfect plan.
It’s about knowing what to do when the plan changes.
And that’s where some of the most valuable development lessons are often found.
Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
