Three years ago today, I woke to the news from Israel and, like so many people, couldn’t look away.

More than 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken from their homes, from a music festival, from kibbutzim where families had gone to bed thinking it was an ordinary Friday night.

Grandparents, babies, teenagers, soldiers barely out of school.
As a father, that is the part I keep returning to. Every one of those people had someone who waited for them to come home. For too many families, that wait ended in the worst possible way, and three years on, their grief hasn’t faded. It has just become part of how they live.

Through my work with Save a Child’s Heart, I’ve seen up close how much the people of Israel give to children everywhere, regardless of where they come from.

That makes today feel even heavier.

To the families who lost someone on 7 October, and to those who endured captivity: you are in my thoughts today. I can’t take any of the pain away, but I can make sure your loved ones are remembered.
May their memory be a blessing.

Private credit is under scrutiny. Good.

The CEO of ANZ told the AFR Asia Summit this week that if you regulate only part of the system, the problem shows up somewhere else, and possibly in a worse profile. We run a private credit business, and we agree with him.

One developer has gone into administration owing more than $3 billion, much of it to private lenders, across more than 40 facilities. That is not a private credit problem. It is a diligence problem. Any lender extending on that book without a full picture of group leverage was not doing the job.

Good private lenders already run bank-grade credit: registered first mortgages, independent valuations, quantity surveyor reports, presale or equity cover, certified drawdowns, and an independent credit committee that can say no. The rest will be found out by the cycle before the regulator arrives.

Transparency on leverage and valuations would help everyone in this market, including the borrowers who rely on us because the banks will not touch them. So regulate it. Just be clear about who benefits when a major bank asks for tighter rules on its competitors.

“Anywhere but Victoria.”

We hear it from capital partners most weeks. Here is what we look at instead.

On Thursday the ABS reported Victoria added 109,500 people in the year to March. That is 7.15 million Victorians, growing at 1.6 per cent against 1.4 per cent nationally. Net overseas migration alone brought almost 82,000.

Two days earlier the HIA reported new home sales in Victoria fell 27 per cent over the three months to August. The steepest fall of any major state.

More people. Fewer homes.

Some read that as a reason to leave. We read it as a reason to build.

The demand is not in question. Three hundred new residents a day need somewhere to live. What has gone missing is confidence, and the capital that follows it. That is where a private lender earns its keep: backing sound sponsors with sound sites while the banks sit on their hands.

Victoria is harder than it should be. The tax settings do not help, and we say so. But hard markets are where disciplined developers make their best returns, and we would rather fund them here than watch from interstate.

Start with the end in mind.

“Victoria has moved from a planning problem to a delivery problem.” The Property Council said that yesterday, and it is exactly right.
Its new paper on Footscray looks at a precinct where governments have put more than $1.5 billion into hospitals, transport, education and sport, where the zoning is done, and where sites still sit vacant and approved projects stall. The reasons are the ones every developer I speak to will recite: construction costs, taxes and charges, the cost of finance, and apartment values that do not cover the build.
Victoria approved 4,642 dwellings in July, a decent month, but the 12-month average is about 4,700 a month against a target of 80,000 a year. That needs closer to 6,700 a month, every month, for a decade.
You cannot plan your way to 80,000 homes a year. You can only make each one cheaper to deliver. The paper’s first recommendation is to review the taxes and levies on precinct sites. I would go further: every windfall gains tax bill, surcharge on offshore capital and new levy lands on the cost line of a feasibility that is already underwater in the middle suburbs. Approvals are not homes. Homes are what a lender will fund and a buyer will pay for.
Which Melbourne precinct is closest to being deliverable right now?

Every developer knows the middle.

Not the launch. Not the ribbon. The middle — when the slab’s down, the crane’s up, and the only thing standing between you and the other side is whether the money keeps pace with the build.

That’s the part nobody films.

We built Salvest around it. Senior debt, stretch senior, mezzanine, preferred equity — the whole stack, so the structure of the finance can move with the structure of the building. No presales. No 13-point checklist. If we like the sponsor, the deal and the exit, we’ll tailor something that works.

Panel by panel. Level by level. All the way to the other side.

They said no.

No reason. No conversation. Just a box you didn’t fit.

We say: tell us more.

Senior debt. Mezzanine. Preferred equity. Terms in 48–72 hours. No presales.

A knocked-back deal isn’t a bad deal. It’s usually just a deal nobody bothered to understand.

→ Move fast — 48–72hr application turnaround, so you can secure sites and lock in costs before the next price move.
→ No presales required — critical right now, with presales hitting record lows and banks tightening.
→ Flexible capital across the stack — senior debt, mezzanine and preferred equity to top up a funding gap when costs run over, without derailing the project.
→ We read the feasibility, not a tick-box — we understand property and development, so a project that still stacks up under pressure gets a real conversation.

Rising costs don’t have to stall good projects. The right structure — and the right lender — keep them moving.

Start with the end in mind. Let’s talk.

This weekend the world stops for one game. Spain. Argentina. Ninety minutes that took four years of discipline, sacrifice and nerve to earn. We watch football for the same reason we back developers — because greatness was never luck. It’s the grind nobody films: the cold starts, the risk on the line, the refusal to stop when quitting would’ve been easier. So to every developer out there building something world-class — we see the work behind it, and we’re right there with you for it. Start with the end in mind.

Behind every failed project, was a successful feasibility.

You did the numbers. They worked.

They always work.

The feaso is never the problem. It stacks up on day one — margin, timeline, exit, all of it. What breaks a project isn’t the model. It’s what happens to the model in the real world.

Approvals drag. The capital takes twelve weeks instead of two. A lender loses their nerve halfway through the build. Costs escalate while you wait. The programme slips, and the margin you modelled quietly walks out the door.

By the time most developers pick up the phone to a lender like us, the damage is already done. We’re not funding the project anymore — we’re rescuing it. And rescue capital is the most expensive money you’ll ever pay for.

It doesn’t have to go that way.

Bring us in at the start. Before the site settles. Before you commit to a programme you can’t fund. Let us structure the stack around the feasibility while the feasibility still means something.

That’s the difference between a project that gets built and a project that becomes a case study.

Let Salvest assist you upfront. Not when it’s too late.
