Building homes with purpose.
For the way we live today.

This is the moment the vision gets out of my head and onto the page, so I can finally see it.

This is our current project in Bowraville, NSW.

A multi-dwelling, multi-generational layout designed with intent.

Dual occupancy.
Multiple dwellings.
One site designed to support real lives and real decisions.

This isn’t about building houses for the sake of it.
It’s about building homes that actually serves people.

Homes that give families options.
Homes that support income alongside living.
Homes that provide independance and privacy.
Homes that still keep us connected, close.

This project exists because purpose matters.
Who you build with matters.
Why you build matters.

We’re now opening expressions of interest for the Bowraville project.

We’re inviting investors who want to be part of something meaningful to join us.

If this aligns with how you think and how you invest, reach out.

🏡 INVESTOR OPPORTUNITY | PRIVATE LENDING

** BUILDING HOMES WITH PURPOSE **
*** FOR THE WAY WE LIVE TODAY ***

We’re opening up private lending opportunities for Phase 1 of a We’re opening private lending opportunities for Phase 1 of a multigenerational housing development addressing real housing pressure in regional Australia.

We’ve secured two adjoining properties in Bowraville NSW, on the Mid North Coast, positioned midway between the Gold Coast and Sydney.

We’re now seeking funding for the early works required to unlock the full site and progress the broader development.

PHASE 1 | EARLY WORKS

We are progressing value-adding works in parallel with planning approvals to shorten timelines and reduce risk.

📍 Property 1
Renovation and resale
• Renovate the existing dwelling
• Works scheduled December to February

📍 Property 2
Demolition and resale
• Demolition of the existing dwelling
• Enables resale as vacant land
• Indicative timing March, subject to DA-1 subdivision approval

Each property is treated as its own stage.
They may proceed independently or in parallel.
Each is documented as a separate investment.

–––––––––––
💰 FUNDING STRUCTURE

Both stages follow the same framework.

• Funding requirement per stage: $100,000
• Individual investments accepted between $50,000 and $75,000
• One or more lenders may participate in each stage

This structure is intentional.
It creates a genuine entry point for early and first-time private lenders.

–––––––––––
📈 INVESTMENT TERMS

• Short-term placement
• Indicative term up to 4 months per stage
• Exit via sale settlement or refinance of the relevant property

Return options, elected prior to drawdown:
✔ 12% per annum, paid monthly
✔ 15% per annum, paid at completion

–––––––––––
⏱ WHY THIS TIMING MAKES SENSE

Over the holiday period, most activity slows.
Projects pause. Capital sits idle.

Taking a break doesn’t mean your money has to.

While much of the market goes quiet, these works continue.
Renovation progresses.
Approvals move forward.
Value is created.

This is a defined return over a short window, during a period when many funds remain parked in the bank.

–––––––––––
🌱 WHAT YOU’RE BACKING

• A multigenerational housing model
• Well-designed, efficient homes aligned to how people live today
• A regional solution to a national housing problem
• A development approach built on structure, discipline, and delivery

–––––––––––
📩 NEXT STEPS

This is not a pooled raise.
It is not speculative.
It is staged, controlled, and deliberate.

If you’re a private lender looking to put $50,000 to $150,000 to work over the next few months, with a defined return and a clear role in a purpose-led development, book a time to discuss the project and review the term sheet.

Phase 1 is now active. Take action now.

If the Integrated Lifestyle Developments model aligns with how you invest or develop property, we’re open to conversations beyond this project.

🤩Here's how we're helping to change lives:

INVESTOR INCENTIVE

We wanted a simple way to acknowledge the people who back our projects. Investors take on risk, they support the vision, and they help move each development forward. A thank you should reflect that.

Every investor who partners with us between now and May 2026 will receive a holiday accommodation voucher as a personal thank you.

Use it for a break, gift it to someone, or pass it on to a community group. Your investment helps us build homes with purpose. This is our way of giving something meaningful back.

Ailsa and I are super excited!!
The second property settled today.

Thank you Melissa (pictured) from The Edge Coffs Harbour for bringing this amazing opportunity our way.

What started as a simple splitter block project has now turned into a 6 lots subdivision.

We now have 2 titles, making the playgournd a combined 3089 sqm block.

In recent weeks we've been working through the planning phase with Town Planner, Surveyor and Designer so things are moving along behind the scenes.

Things are about to get really, real.

We’ll be sharing our journey so follow is here.

🌟 Celebrating a Milestone 🌟

This week marks 12 months as an Inner Circle member and my official graduation from Rising Star Developer 🎓✨

When I first clicked on an RSD ad while scrolling Facebook (yes, the algorithm knows me well 😂) I thought it would be like the dozens of others. But then Amanda said something that hit me right between the eyes:
💡 “You can do this as a business model.”

🔥 Ka-boom! That landed. For me as an entrepreneur, it pulled everything together. I wasn’t just looking at property as an investor — development itself IS the business model. And after 20+ years in business development, that just made sense.

From there, the journey has been a mix of fun and fire:
🏡 Learning to find deals became addictive — my feed is now full of lenders, agents, and development opportunities.
📍 Our first deal: 16 Adam Street, Bowraville.
⚡ Two days before settlement — opportunity knocked again with 14 Adam Street right next door. A stunning 1,859 sqm corner block.

That moment changed everything. What started as a reno + splitter block shifted gears into a 6-lot subdivision and construction of bespoke, multigenerational homes. This is where Integrated Lifestyle Developments was born — building homes with purpose, for the way families want to live, today.

https://integratedlifestyle.b-i-g.com.au/

But here’s the best part 👉 I didn’t do this alone.
The RSDIC community has been absolutely pivotal:
💜 Ailsa Rutherford — my JV “girlfriend in business” and the easiest, most aligned partner I could ask for.
💜 Leanne Petersen Boland — your insights into town planning lifted our game massively, so grateful.
💜 Melanie Miller & Matt — thrilled to have you on board as we design and deliver something truly special.
💜 And so many others I’ve connected with at events and in the community chats — your knowledge, encouragement, and conversations have been invaluable.

The journey so far has been thrilling and has ignited a whole new passion in me.

🙏 A huge THANK YOU to Amanda — for the spark, the wisdom, and for still giving us access to the course, group coaching calls, and the Facebook community even beyond graduation. That ongoing support means the world.

🚀 We’re only at the beginning, but the vision is big: creating adaptable, bespoke homes with purpose. Follow our journey here: IDL Projects page

Here’s to building homes that matter, futures that inspire, and communities that thrive. The best is yet to come. 🌟

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO!!

A few weeks ago we were excited to share our first property acquisition.

ANNNNDD then, 2 days before settlement the agent came to us with the news that the neighbouring property (1859 sqm corner block) was about to go on market and did we want first dibs.

So my dare-devil Partner in Profit and Purpose, Ailsa Rutherford and I decided to GO FOR IT!!

Talk about pivoting the whole project!! Now are looking at 2 titles, zoned RU5, playing with total of 3086sqm. Sooooo, likely a 5 lot subdivision. Nice big blocks that will still attract dual-occ or multi-dwelling construction.

Pre-sale and investor opportunities available.

💡 How to build wealth without losing focus on your business

💡 The exact vetting process they use to find and negotiate the right deals
💡 Why you don’t need to be a property expert to invest like one
