Stop Sustainability Delaying Your Deal!(Hexicon) + Rooming House(Jason Stanley)

**\*\*\*RSVP PROCESS - CRITICAL INFO\*\*\*** Please be aware, we don't use the Meetup website to take RSVPs, so you will need to register on this link to lock in your place (bookings essential) - [https://propdev.info/uMKh](https://propdev.info/uMKh) We run events most weekends around Australia so you can attend either physically in your local area, or live-stream to any event around the country. **In-Person:** 1:30pm (Melbourne time) to 'Mingle With The Expert' **Virtual:** 2pm (Melbourne time) **INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:** *Stop Sustainability Delaying Your Deal! Hexicon (Kapil Kumar)* Are Sustainability Rules Putting Your Next Deal at Risk You’ve found a great site. The numbers stack. You’re ready to move forward… Then sustainability requirements get in the way. 7 Star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme requirements. Stormwater management. Water Sensitive Urban Design. And what looked like a straightforward project turns into redesigns, additional costs, delays, and uncertainty. Town planning gets held up. Designs need to change. And suddenly, your “great deal” is sitting on the sidelines… while your holding costs keep adding up. Here’s the truth: Most mum and dad developers don’t get caught out because they picked a bad site… They get caught out because they didn’t understand the sustainability requirements early enough. That’s why you need to hear from **Kapil Kumar** from **Hexicon**. In this session, you’ll discover: • What the 7 Star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme requirements mean for your project • The sustainability requirements you need to consider when subdividing • How to choose the right Environmentally Sustainable Design consultant for your development • What you need to know about stormwater management and Water Sensitive Urban Design requirements • How to make sure you’ve covered the sustainability requirements before lodging your town planning application And most importantly… How getting the right Environmentally Sustainable Design advice early in the design process can help you avoid costly redesigns, planning delays and unnecessary headaches. Because sustainability shouldn’t be something you discover halfway through your project… It should be part of your strategy from day one. Don’t miss this session! **INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:** *9 Rooming House Project (Jason Stanley)* *5m922, GRZ, Hoppers Crossing, Victoria* Most mum and dad developers think the hard part is finding the site. It’s not. The real pressure hits when you’re deep in the deal, when promised construction finance falls over, when council shifts the goalposts late in the build, and when policy changes (including VCAT rulings around what qualifies as “self-contained”) threaten to derail months of work. That’s when you discover whether you’re a dreamer… or a developer. At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Real Deal presenter **Jason Stanley** shares a project that tested him on finance, council and mindset. What went well? The growth. The lessons. The shift from hoping it works to thinking strategically. What didn’t? Finance headaches, disappearing brokers, and late-stage council challenges that could have wiped out profit. This isn’t theory. It’s real-world development, the part most people don’t talk about. This is real-world development, the stuff you don’t see on social media. If you’re a mum and dad developer who wants to: • Avoid costly finance mistakes • Understand how council and policy changes can impact your project • Build resilience when things don’t go to plan • And become a better investor with every deal Then you need to hear Jason’s story. Because in property development, it’s not the easy deals that make you - it’s the tough ones. And the lessons from this one could save you tens of thousands on your next project. ***This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!*** See you all soon!

Nature Walk and Bird Watching at Albert Park Lake with Coffee & Conversation

Join me for an easy going walk and bird watching together at Albert Park Lake, an extraordinary wetland habitat and one of Melbourne's favourite nature spots. Whether you are new in town or looking to connect with other nature lovers this walk is a great opportunity to chat with new and old friends as we explore by the water's edge. We can enjoy the stroll together and sharing our birdlife discoveries along the way. We'll have time for photographs and to take in the magnificent views of the city skyline at the southern end of the lake. We'll finish up at the Coots Picnic area to relax, socialise and enjoy something to eat and drink. **Agenda** I will meet you at **2pm** on the lakeside of the Light Rail Tram Stop No.129 Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. We'll set off at 2.10pm to walk clockwise around the lake. We'll stroll past the wharves and Gunn Island and pause at the southernmost point of the lake. Then we'll make our way back to the Coots Picnic area for a snack and drink together. You can pick up a coffee and a snack at the nearby Sir Albert Cafe or bring your own favourites. This is an easy walk on flat pathways and the distance will be about 5.5km all up. The walking time is around 1hr 45mins including stops along the way. **Location** Light Rail Tram Stop No.129 on the No.96 Light Rail Tram line (Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre Tram Stop) There is free street parking available on Canterbury Road which runs beside the tram/light rail line. Parking Fees apply to all car parks within Albert Park. When you RSVP, please **click Attend** on the event page and I will be in touch via Direct Messages about the details. I will also be available in the Event Comments on the day.

A $20 non refundable deposit is required for this event and will be refunded on the night. The deposit will be required 48 hours from RSVPing to the event or you will be moved removed from the event. Please make payment to the following account only if you are on the going list. Please note the new bank details. BSB 013125 Account 150808654 Please message me directly once payment is made. PLEASE USE YOUR NAME AND VENUE AS YOUR REFERENCE on the funds transfer to make it easier. Please only RSVP to an event if you fully intend to show. Pulling out of a dinner or another booked event (with a venue) on the day is a kick in the teeth for both the venue and the organiser. I understand there are instances where this is unavoidable, but you are short changing the venue on the revenue they are reliant upon, especially when it comes to paying their staff. It may be too late to rebook those tables with other patrons. Not to mention the stress this puts the organisers under. Please be considerate.
