Victoria’s ResCode rules have changed, and on the right site, the difference is dramatic.Most developers are still assessing sites using old assumptions. But the ResCode Changes Victoria introduced have fundamentally shifted what you can build, especially on corner blocks and front to back sites.In this video, we walk through a real Bayside development in Sandringham and compare two sets of plans on the same land. One application was tracking toward approval for 3 townhouses under the old rules. The redesigned scheme under the new ResCode delivered 4 townhouses at roughly the same size.Same block. Same suburb. Very different feasibility.Peter breaks down exactly what changed and what it means in real dollar terms. From site coverage moving from 50 percent to 62 percent, to reduced setbacks, first floor design efficiencies, and why council responses are becoming more predictable under the updated framework.This is not theory. It is a genuine before and after example from an active project.If you are assessing sites in Victoria in 2026, understanding these ResCode changes properly could materially change your numbers before you buy.🔥 You’ll learn What the ResCode Changes Victoria actually did in practice Why corner sites now stack up differently How increased site coverage affects upstairs design When it makes sense to redesign an approved permit How council processes are shifting under the new rules What these changes mean for feasibility and resale outcomesWhether you are looking at a dual occupancy, townhouses, or your next small scale development, this breakdown will help you assess opportunity with clarity instead of guesswork.👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:07 Why Corner Sites Just Became More Profitable06:37 Council Process: 3 Townhouses vs 4 Townhouses11:39 Site Coverage Increase (50% → 62%) & What It Means16:08 Front Setbacks Reduced – How It Unlocks Extra Dwellings📺 Prefer video?

The biggest mistake developers make in Melbourne isn’t picking the wrong block.It’s picking the wrong suburb, without understanding what actually makes it resilient.Most “best suburbs” lists are surface-level. They tell you where to look, but they don’t explain why those suburbs outperform in both rising and slowing markets.In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down the logic behind five Melbourne suburbs we’re actively developing in right now for small property developments in 2026, and more importantly, the framework we use to assess suburb resilience, demand depth, and downside protection.This is a practical, real-world guide to choosing the right suburb for townhouse developments and small-scale projects.No hype. No speculation. Just the fundamentals experienced developers rely on when selecting suburbs that hold value and move first when the market turns.You’ll learn how to approach suburb selection properly from day one, focusing on school zones, buyer psychology, infrastructure, planning conditions, land usability, and supply constraints.This video is designed to help you assess Melbourne suburbs with logic, not emotion.Whether you’re planning a townhouse development, dual occupancy, or your first small property development project, this will change how you analyse where to build in 2026.🔥 You’ll learn What makes a suburb resilient in downturns Why school zones drive long-term resale premiums How flat land protects your build margin Why planning rules matter more than price growth How to assess demand depth before you buy The hidden risks inside “cheap” emerging suburbs What to look for inside a suburb once you secure a site How experienced developers evaluate Melbourne locations👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:48 McKinnon02:49 Hampton04:10 Doncaster East06:07 Carnegie07:58 Brighton East09:09 Common Thread📺 Prefer video?

Most people think a property development feasibility tells you whether a project will make money.But a proper feasibility does something far more important — it shows you where the numbers work, where they don’t, and which assumptions your entire project relies on.In this step-by-step education video, Peter Kelly walks you through exactly how to do a property development feasibility the right way. Not just plugging numbers into a spreadsheet, but understanding what needs to be included, where people underestimate, and why small errors early can destroy a project later.This is a practical, beginner-friendly breakdown of the full feasibility process used on real development projects — covering land costs, consultant fees, build costs, holding costs, resale values, and how to measure whether a deal is actually worth doing.If your feasibility is wrong, everything that follows is just damage control. This video shows you how to avoid that.Whether you’re looking at your first development, assessing a dual occupancy or townhouse project, or simply want to understand how experienced developers think about risk and numbers, this guide will give you clarity before you commit.🔥 You’ll learn What a feasibility study actually tells you (and what it doesn’t) The most common feasibility mistakes developers make How to assess land costs, build costs, and consultant fees properly How to factor in holding costs and timing risk How to estimate resale values realistically How to measure profit against capital invested Why assumptions matter more than spreadsheets👇 Chapters00:00 Intro03:21 Breaking Down the Site & Purchase Numbers09:45 GST, Cash Flow & Subdivision Costs Explained16:43 Contingency, Finance & Lender Expectations22:28 Construction Costs & Where Real Value Is Added📺 Prefer video?

The fastest way to lose money in property development isn’t the market, interest rates, or your builder.It’s starting your first project without understanding where profit is actually made.Most beginners think developers make money once construction starts. In reality, the money is made long before a builder ever steps on site. And if you get those early decisions wrong, everything that follows is just damage control.In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down how property developers actually make money, explaining the real levers that drive profit in property development and why most people misunderstand them.This is a practical, beginner-friendly guide to how property development works in the real world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just the fundamentals that experienced developers rely on to make money consistently.You’ll learn how to approach property development properly from day one, starting with site selection, feasibility accuracy, capital structure, timing, relationships, and systems that protect your downside and improve your margins.This video is designed to help you move forward with clarity instead of guessing.Whether you’re looking at a dual occupancy, townhouse development, or your first small-scale property development project, this video will help you understand where profit really comes from and how to avoid the mistakes that quietly destroy returns.🔥 You’ll learn How property developers actually make money Why most beginners lose money before construction startsHow to identify the right site before you buy Why feasibility accuracy matters more than market growth How capital, LVR, and GRV affect profit and risk Why relationships are one of the biggest profit levers How time delays silently destroy development margins The systems experienced developers use to stay profitable How to start property development the right way👇 Chapters00:00 Intro00:29 Why Most Beginners Lose Money00:58 Buy the Right Site02:23 Know Your Numbers03:40 How Capital Really Works05:01 Relationships That Make You Money05:53 Time Is Money06:57 Build Systems That Make You Profitable07:54 Small Wins Add Up📺 Prefer video?

The fastest way to lose money in property development in 2026 is starting your first project without a real plan.Most people don’t fail because of the market, interest rates, or their builder. They fail because their very first deal was flawed from the start and they didn’t know it until it was too late.In this beginner-friendly guide, Peter Kelly walks you step by step through how to start property development in 2026, explaining the entire process in plain English. From choosing the right first project and understanding risk, to selecting the right area, running simple feasibilities, building the right team, and avoiding the mistakes that quietly kill first-time developments.This video shows you how small-scale property development actually works in the real world so you can move forward with clarity instead of guessing.Whether you’re considering a dual occupancy, townhouses, or your very first development project, this guide is designed to help you reduce risk before you commit.🔥 You’ll learn How to start property development in 2026 step by step The safest first projects for beginners How to choose the right suburb and avoid overcapitalising How to run a simple feasibility in plain English The core team you need before you buy a site The biggest mistakes first-time developers make What to do in the next 7 days to get moving👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:22 Where You Actually Start03:26 Step 1: Pick the Right First Project06:08 Step 2: Choosing Your Area07:57 Step 3: Understanding the Numbers10:20 Step 4: Building Your Team13:40 Step 5: The Tools You Need14:50 Step 6: The Biggest Mistakes First Timers Make17:00 Step 7: Your Next Seven Days📺 Prefer video?

Most property developments don’t fail because of one big mistake. They fail because of a series of small costs no one sees coming until it’s already too late.What looks like a great deal on paper can quietly fall apart once the soil, slope, services and planning rules start stacking against you after the site is already locked in.In this episode, Peter Kelly breaks down the hidden costs that kill most property developments and explains why beginners consistently miss them. From soil conditions and land gradient to easements, stormwater, services and planning constraints, this video shows how feasibility slowly erodes when due diligence is rushed or incomplete.This video explains what actually causes developments to blow out, why copying neighbouring projects is dangerous, and how small site differences can carry massive financial consequences.Whether you’re looking at your first development site or already own land, this episode will help you understand where projects go wrong and how to spot problems before they destroy your profit.🔥 You’ll learn The hidden costs most developers miss Why feasibility breaks down after purchase How soil, slope and services impact build costs Why copying neighbours is risky How to assess a site properly before committing👇 Chapters00:00 Intro01:10 Soil Tests01:49 Site Gradient or Slope02:39 Easements03:40 Stormwater & Street-side Services04:40 Neighbourhood Precedence07:02 Why People Miss It08:43 How to Avoid It📺 Prefer video?

Most developers don’t fail because they don’t understand property development. They fail because they try to figure it out on their own.In this video, Peter Kelly explains why developing in isolation is one of the biggest hidden risks in property development and why being part of a real property developer network changes how fast you learn, how early you spot problems, and how confidently you make decisions.Most developers know the theory. Feasibility, town planning, build costs, lending rules. But once you are dealing with councils, consultants, builders, and constantly changing market conditions, theory stops being enough.That is where a property developer network matters.🔥 You'll learn: Why developers fall behind without realising it How small decisions quietly compound into big problems Why real world context beats courses and content What a quality property developer network actually providesPeter breaks down why books, courses, and YouTube videos can teach concepts but cannot show you what is happening right now on the ground. Councils change. Builders shift. Finance tightens. If you are not plugged into other active developers, you are always reacting instead of anticipating.This is why the Little Fish Network exists. Thousands of active developers sharing real projects, real issues, and real lessons as they happen. No hype. No theory.

Most townhouse developers miss this. And when they do, it can cripple their project. Before you buy a site, or even start designing on a site you already own – you need to check overshadowing of the neighbour’s private open space. Not the windows. Not the setbacks. The backyard.Get this wrong and you can lose metres off your footprint.Lose metres and you lose bedrooms, function, value, and profit.In some cases, developers are forced to go from two dwellings down to one.
