A few weeks back, we recorded a special podcast with David Woolsey while he was on the road cycling from Perth to Melbourne.

Dave has now completed the extraordinary endurance challenge. 3,600 km in just 14 days. Riding across the country to raise funds and awareness for children with brain cancer.

What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Dave had barely ridden a bike in years prior to training for the challenge. Starting from a zero base in January, he built himself up physically and mentally for one of the toughest endurance rides in the country.

Dave will be back on the podcast in a few months for a deeper dive into the ride, the lessons learned, and his insights from the experience and industry.

A huge well done to Dave, an outstanding achievement for an incredibly important cause. So far Dave has raised $67,000. Donations closing soon for those who’d still like to support: P2M4BC.COM

Andrew Sparks works with business owners to help them understand, scale, and increase the value of their companies, with a strong focus on leadership, systems, and removing founder dependency so businesses can grow beyond the owner.
He talks about the choice between getting stuck in frustration or focusing on improvement, and the importance of taking ownership. He challenges the idea of whether you want to stay stuck in the problem or focus on finding the outcome and getting better.

“You can sit around and complain about it, or you can just get better.”

A simple reminder that growth doesn’t come from noise, frustration, or blame. It comes from ownership.

In business (and in life), things won’t always go your way. Markets shift, people change, technology evolves.

The question is never really why is this happening to me? It’s what am I going to do about it?

This mindset is what separates those who stay stuck from those who adapt, improve, and move forward.

A great perspective from on this week’s episode of The Building Talks Podcast.

has officially commenced construction on Duet Porta, the first tower within its $800 million Duet Portside development at Northshore Hamilton.

Located at 11 to 23 MacArthur Avenue, the 25-level tower will deliver 200 premium apartments across one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, with some including multi-purpose rooms, with appointed as builder and completion targeted for Q2 2028.

Designed by .studio.co the project is focused on liveability, natural light and river outlooks, with apartments starting from $1,045,000. Amenities have been planned across the upper levels, with a rooftop pool, outdoor dining and BBQ zones facing the river and city, plus a gym, sauna and residents’ lounge on level six.

TOTAL Property Group is managing the marketing campaign, with buyer interest expected from downsizers, owner occupiers, first home buyers and interstate purchasers looking at Brisbane’s inner city apartment market ahead of 2032.

The broader Portside precinct continues to benefit from its location beside Portside Wharf, Racecourse Road, the Brisbane Riverwalk, Brisbane Airport and the Gateway Motorway, making it one of Brisbane’s more established lifestyle and transport-connected pockets.

Another major step for Northshore Hamilton’s apartment pipeline, with more project details available in the article below.

Joining Martin Preece this week on The Building Talks Podcast is founder of exyt™

This one is for construction business owners (or anyone aspiring to start their own construction business in the future) who feel like they’ve become the engine, the brake, and the decision-maker all at once.

Andrew works closely with business owners to help them better understand, scale, and increase the value of their companies.
We dig into a challenge many construction, property, and consulting businesses eventually face.... the founder becomes the bottleneck.

Andrew shares practical, real-world insights on founder dependency, leadership, culture, hiring and recruitment, and what it actually takes to build a business that can grow beyond the owner.

We also explore why strong systems, high performers, and clear decision-making have such a major impact on business value, especially if your goal is more freedom, stronger performance, or building a business that can one day run, grow, or sell without everything relying on you.

Morphy Birrell Property has lodged plans for a 25-storey mixed-use tower on Mercer Street, Geelong, as part of its wider push to reshape the city’s Station Precinct.
Designed by the proposal would deliver 159 apartments, ground-floor retail, two levels of commercial office space and communal amenity across a 3,320-square-metre site. The tower would rise to 82.36 metres, above the precinct’s preferred 60-metre height, with plans now before Victoria’s planning minister.
The apartment mix includes a strong focus on larger homes, with more than 40 per cent proposed as three-and four-bedroom residences. Two four-bedroom penthouses are planned on Level 24, while 54 per cent of apartments are designed to meet accessibility standards.
At street level, plans include a retail and café tenancy fronting Mercer Street, a residential lobby, landscaped forecourt and urban plaza. The project also includes 886 square metres of communal space, 299 car spaces and 84 bicycle spaces.
The site sits next to St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church and Ashby Public Hall, both significant heritage assets.
The podium design takes cues from the nearby church masonry, while the tower is set back from Mercer Street to help protect key sightlines. .consultants prepared the planning report, with heritage input from Conservation Studio.
This marks Stage 5 of Morphy Birrell Property’s broader precinct plan, following the completed Miramar tower and further permitted stages nearby. With other major proposals also progressing across central Geelong, the city’s apartment pipeline continues to gain momentum.

More details on the proposal and its planning pathway are available in the article below.

has this month appointed under an Early Contractor Involvement agreement for its first two built-to-rent projects in Abbotsford, with a combined development cost of around $330 million.
The Johnston Street project will deliver around 240 homes and is set to become Australia’s tallest timber residential building, while the Lithgow Street project will deliver around 150 homes through the adaptive reuse of the historic Schweppes Cordial Factory. Both projects are now in the final stages of the Victorian Planning Minister’s Development Facilitation Pathway.
Designed by the developments are targeting 6 Star Green Star, 9 Star NatHERS and Certified Passivhaus outcomes. Mass timber, all-electric design, modular thinking and lower-carbon delivery are central to the approach, with Multiplex bringing experience from projects such as Gillies Hall at Monash University and the ANMF Hotel in Melbourne.

The ECI process gives the team the chance to test buildability, cost, program and long-term performance before construction, which is becoming increasingly important in the current market. It also gives MODEL a clearer path to delivering its first assets with a focus on better rental homes, stronger sustainability outcomes and a more considered resident experience.

I also had the chance to speak with MODEL founder Rory Hunter on The Building Talks Podcast in 2024, where we discussed their build-to-rent strategy, sustainable living approach and flagship Abbotsford projects in detail. You can listen here:

A strong move for Melbourne’s build-to-rent sector, especially as more developers look at timber, adaptive reuse and long-term asset performance.
