INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:

Maximise Refunds On Council Charges! Pie Solutions (Jason Miller)

Ever had unexpected infrastructure contributions blow your feasibility out of the water?

You’re not alone. Most developers don’t realise just how critical infrastructure contributions are until it’s too late when council hands you a hefty infrastructure charge or conditions your DA with unexpected infrastructure to be delivered. And if you don’t know the difference between trunk and non-trunk infrastructure, you’re likely leaving tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.

Here’s the kicker: local governments have an incentive to condition non-trunk infrastructure, shifting the cost burden onto you. But what if you knew how to fight back legitimately?

This month at Property Developer Network, we’re bringing in Jason Miller from PIE Solutions, a leading expert in infrastructure planning, funding, and delivery. Jason’s going to break down Queensland’s infrastructure charging framework in plain English. No jargon, no fluff so you can finally understand:

• How are charges calculated? including credits for existing development
• What trunk infrastructure is, and how to get council to classify it correctly
• How to negotiate Infrastructure Agreements for offsets and refunds
• The importance of the Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) if you are delivering infrastructure
• Where and when you can recover the costs of development infrastructure (roads, sewer, water supply, stormwater and parks infrastructure)

If you're sick of being caught off guard, want to protect your profits, and start treating infrastructure as a strategy rather than a cost, this is a session you can't afford to miss.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:

Luxury Duplex (Wendy Macdonald)
555m², Warana, Queensland

Managing the stormy waters of property development.

Imagine securing a duplex site while boating in the Whitsundays. Well, that’s exactly what this month Real Deal presenter Wendy Macdonald did. She struck a simple JV with the builder: she provided the land; he funded and built the project. No construction finance, no interest charges, hands-off development.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Council resisted higher density. Construction dragged on with material shortages. Then 11 RBA rate rises killed the buyer market. Even through all that, Wendy delivered a great return.

Join us this month as we hear first-hand how a chance conversation from the water turned into a successful duplex project.

Wendy will share:
• How to buy deals remotely (even from a boat) and lock deals under pressure
• What to do when the council won't support your density — fight or pivot?
• The conversation that turned a builder into a trusted JV partner
• How she structured a JV that removed construction finance and interest risk
• How to manage the “storms” of property development
• What strategy, structure and team to use

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

See you all soon!
