Avoid Costly Contract Mistakes – Commercial and Legal (Erin Freebairn)
Most developers obsess over feasibility, design and end values…
Then sign the contract thinking the standard clauses will protect them.
That’s where deals can go wrong.
If your land contract isn’t negotiated properly, you could be locked into a site that no longer stacks up forced to settle when finance falls over, planning approvals get messy, or hidden encumbrances derail your strategy.
And once you’ve signed, your leverage is gone.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, our Industry Expert Erin Freebairn from Commercial and Legal is diving into:
Negotiating Land Contracts for Development: Essential Insights for Purchasers
Erin will show you how to proactively manage risk before you sign not after the problems start.
She’ll cover:
• How to properly structure Subject to Finance clauses
• What a strong Subject to Development / Planning Approval condition should include
• How to ensure your Due Diligence clause actually gives you real protection
• What to look for in the Form 1 Vendor Statement — including zoning, encumbrances, easements and Land Management Agreements
• How to draft clear, precise special conditions that minimise disputes and protect your commercial position
Here’s the reality.
Ambiguous or poorly drafted special conditions create uncertainty, delays and unnecessary conflict. Worse still, without a clear conditional exit strategy, you may be legally obliged to proceed with a purchase even if the project becomes unviable.
That can mean serious financial exposure.
Erin will break down how to structure your contracts properly, so you maintain flexibility, reduce risk, and safeguard your development from day one.
If you’re serious about developing professionally not emotionally than this is a session you definitely do not want to miss.

'Real Deal' Presentation
1 into 3 Subdivision (Mubarak Rahamathulla)
950m2, GZ, Seacliff Park, South Australia
You’d think by the sixth development, you’d have it all figured out…
But even experienced developers hit bumps in the road.
Take Mubarak Rahamathulla, our Real Deal speaker at this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup. On his sixth project, everything seemed to be going smoothly, budgets, plans, approvals were all on track
Then came the curveball: construction delays pushed the build out by five months. That’s five months of stress, cash flow pressure, and uncertainty.
If you’re a mum-and-dad developer, this is all too familiar. Even when your planning is perfect, unexpected delays can throw your project off course and eat into your profits
That’s why Mubarak is sharing exactly how he navigated the challenges, kept the project moving, and what he learned from the experience. He’ll break down
• Where things went right and what set the project up for success
• The unexpected hurdles that caused delays and how he responded
• Practical lessons every small-scale developer can apply to stay on track
This is your chance to hear from someone who’s been in the trenches, made mistakes, adapted, and come out the other side with a successful outcome
Because in property development, it’s not just about avoiding mistakes, it’s about knowing how to handle them when they happen.
Mubarak’s insights will save you time, money, and sleepless nights on your next project.
