Budget Changes Impacting Developers! Complete Business Advisory (Peter Rule)
The Budget Has Changed. Has Your Strategy?
You’ve chosen your entity structure and you're ready to move forward on your next Development project.
Then the Federal Budget drops.
New tax measures are announced. Investor sentiment shifts. Lending conditions evolve. Suddenly, decisions that seemed straightforward a few months ago may need a second look.
If you're wondering how the latest budget changes could impact your future projects, you're not alone.
For many developers, the biggest risk isn't what's happening on-site, it's failing to understand how changes to tax legislation, investment incentives, and business structures could affect profitability moving forward.
That's why we're happy to have Peter Rule from Complete Business Advisory joining us as our Industry Expert.
In this session, Peter will unpack the recent budget changes and explain what they could mean for property developers in the years ahead.
He'll cover:
• How the latest budget measures may impact property investors and developers
• Opportunities developers can leverage in a changing market
• Whether your current development entity structure is still the right fit
• The benefits and potential pitfalls of using bucket entities to distribute project profits
• Strategies to help protect profits and position yourself for future growth
If you're developing property today or planning your next project tomorrow, understanding these changes could make a significant difference to your bottom line.
Practical. Timely. Focused on helping developers make smarter decisions.
An Industry Expert session NOT to be missed.

'Real Deal' Presentation
1 Into 8 Subdivision (Vanessa Kestelboim & Scott Fixter)
How do you take a subdivision project from acquisition through to selling every lot before titles are issued?
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Vanessa Kestelboim and Scott Fixter will take you behind the scenes of one of their subdivision projects and share the numbers, strategy, challenges and lessons learned along the way.
This project involved an off-market acquisition, a delayed settlement strategy and several contract conditions that helped improve the feasibility of the deal. The team was able to commence the Development Application before settlement and negotiate for the existing owner to remove the house prior to settlement, reducing demolition costs and improving project outcomes.
Vanessa and Scott will walk through the project from start to finish, including:
• How they secured the site off market
• The acquisition strategy and contract terms used
• How they managed the Development Application process
• The challenges encountered with council approvals, utility providers and plan sealing
• The key decisions that impacted feasibility and profitability
• How they successfully sold every lot before titles were issued
• The lessons learned and what they would do differently today
This is a genuine behind-the-scenes case study covering both the wins and the setbacks, with practical insights that can be applied to your own development projects.
Whether you're looking to secure your first development site or improve the way you structure and deliver projects, this Real Deal presentation will provide valuable lessons from a project delivered in the real world.
