Turn Victoria’s New Codes Into Real Yield! JESSE ANT Architects (Jessica Wang)
Are You Missing Out on Victoria’s New Untapped Development Potential?
Victoria quietly rewrote the rulebook for multi-unit developments, and most mum-and-dad developers haven’t caught on yet.
New planning codes. Clearer standards. Faster pathways.
Less discretion. Less guesswork. More certainty.
And here’s the kicker
If you’re still designing projects the old way, you could be leaving yield, time and profit on the table without even realising it.
That’s why this month’s Industry Expert, Jessica Wang from JESSE ANT Architects, is a must-see.
Jessica is working daily with the new Victorian Townhouse & Low-Rise Code, the changes that are unlocking approvals for duplexes, townhouses and low-rise multi-unit projects that previously would’ve struggled.
At this session, Jessica will show you:
• How the new deemed-to-comply standards can actually work in your favour
• Where extra yield and smarter layouts are now possible under the updated rules
• How to design multi-unit projects that councils must approve if you hit the benchmarks
• What savvy developers are doing right now to turn planning reform into real opportunity
This isn’t about fighting council.
It’s about understanding the new rules and using them to your advantage.
If you’re developing (or planning to develop) in Victoria, this session could completely change how you look at your next site.
Because the opportunity is there.
The question is… are you set up to take advantage of it?

Xavier Rigney
Xavier Rigney’s first property development was a foundational learning experience that shaped his approach to future projects. He purchased the site prior to joining Rob Flux’s Property Development Formula course, moving into civil construction by the time he started. The project taught him invaluable lessons in planning, engineering coordination, and risk management, which he now applies to his current developments. With a background in luxury automotive sales and seven years as an international flight attendant, Xavier and his wife had previously built a modest property portfolio. Since completing this first development, their focus has shifted from passive investment to active development, leveraging local networks of planners, engineers, and surveyors to move quickly and confidently on new opportunities.
'Real Deal' Presentation
3 Townhouses (Xavier Rigney)
820m2,GRZ, Bendigo, Victoria
Turning Challenges into Multi-Unit Success
You’ve found a promising development site. Numbers look good. The dream of building townhouses or duplexes seems achievable.
Then reality hits. Permits drag. Engineering submissions take months. Banks and utilities slow the process. And suddenly, what should have been a smooth journey becomes a minefield of delays, extra costs, and last-minute hurdles.
This is exactly the type of challenge Xavier Rigney faced on his latest multi-unit development and he’s coming to the next Property Developer Network Meetup to share the inside story.
From keeping the existing dwelling tenanted throughout construction to navigating stormwater setbacks, Section 173 Agreements, and even last-minute easement oversights, Xavier’s project had it all. There were lessons in timing, sequencing, negotiation, and patience.
Yes, a few expensive “oops” moments along the way.
But here’s the good news: despite every obstacle, the project succeeded, showing exactly how mum-and-dad developers can turn complex hurdles into profitable outcomes.
At this session, Xavier will reveal:
• How to generate income during construction by keeping existing dwellings tenanted
• The importance of early engineering coordination to avoid costly delays
• How to manage banks, utilities, and councils when timing isn’t on your side
• Real-life lessons from subdivision, civil works, and construction, and how to prevent the mistakes he made
If you’re developing or planning a multi-unit project in Victoria, this session will give you the practical insight, hard-earned strategies, and confidence to avoid the pitfalls that derail so many deals.
Because in property development, it’s not about luck.
It’s about knowing the process, navigating the hurdles, and getting the job done right on time and on budget.
