Rezoning under NSW’s newer higher-density pathways including Low and Mid Rise Housing Policy (LMR), the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) and related reforms, can materially increase the development potential (and value) of your land.
It also attracts noise: unsolicited calls, early offers, and “standard” proposals that push you into a binary choice; sell to a developer or list with an agent, before you truly understand what your asset is now worth and how many value pathways you actually have.
That’s where Propertywise comes in. Propertywise was founded specifically to support rezoned landowners and help you avoid conceding value through lack of information, rushed timelines, or one-sided advice.
We provide impartial, commercially led guidance designed to protect your leverage and maximise the highest and best value of what is, in most cases, your most important asset.
Common rezoned landowner pain points we solve:
If you’ve recently benefited from NSW rezoning, LMR, HDA or similar density uplift, the most valuable decision is usually the first one: don’t lock into a pathway before the value drivers are properly tested.
Engaging Propertywise early helps you protect leverage and choose the pathway that delivers the best risk-adjusted outcome.
For Land-owners who are the beneficiary of rezoning and require guidance on how to best capitalise on this windfall for themselves from an unbias development team that works for you.
We help you turn rezoning uplift into a controlled, high-value outcome by removing ambiguity and giving you a clear pathway. That typically means:
Because the highest-value decisions happen before you accept a price, sign an option, or commit to a pathway. Early advice can prevent:
A short call can materially change your outcome by clarifying what matters and what to do next.
No. Propertywise is not positioned as an agent on your transaction and we are not a developer acquiring your land. We act as an independent development-side advisory team—your deal desk—focused on protecting your interests and improving your outcome through disciplined underwriting, governance and process control.
Developers price uncertainty aggressively. We reduce uncertainty by:
Selling now can be faster and simpler, but you may be selling uncertainty at a discount. Uplift (such as DA strategy or concept confirmation) can increase value, but adds time, cost and approvals risk. We help you weigh the trade-offs and choose the pathway that best fits:
Not always. In many cases, value can be maximised by:
Sometimes DA uplift is the right move—sometimes it isn’t. We help you decide based on evidence and commercial reality.
No. It’s often the best time. We can quickly assess:
Even if you proceed with the offer, you’ll proceed with clarity.
Options can be sensible, but they are often misunderstood. The question isn’t “option or not?” but rather it’s:
We help you evaluate and negotiate options so they protect value (with your solicitor documenting the legal terms).
A JV can allow you to share in development upside without funding the entire project yourself, but it also introduces governance, partner selection and execution risk. We help you determine:
We don’t rely on optimistic claims. We pressure-test value through:
Where needed, we coordinate inputs such as valuer/QS/planning advice as part of a controlled process.
We don’t replace your town planner. Our role is commercial governance and oversight, to ensure planning decisions remain aligned to the best-value outcome and don’t drift into open-ended spend or uncommercial outcomes. We coordinate the planning pathway, decision gates and stakeholder process so you maintain control and clarity.
Yes—where you want us to. We can:
You stay in control of the decision—without being dragged into noise.
In many cases, we can provide clarity quickly once we understand:
If you’re facing an offer deadline, tell us—we’ll prioritise what matters.
Often, yes—particularly where we are supporting a transaction or value event. We can structure remuneration to suit your needs, commonly including:
We’ll recommend a structure that aligns incentives and keeps you comfortable with the risk.
That’s common. Many owners engage us for:
You can engage for a defined scope and stop there.
We operate with:
If there’s a conflict, we disclose it. If something can’t be confirmed, we say so and define what to verify.
Yes. We treat landowner matters as confidential. We can also work under NDA if required, particularly when engaging multiple counterparties or reviewing sensitive proposals.
At minimum:
If you have surveys, concepts, valuations or planning advice, we’ll use them—but you don’t need everything to start.
Yes. Many owners start with uncertainty. Our job is to:
Book a call and we’ll confirm a time and send a short checklist so the conversation is productive. After the call, you’ll receive:
