The Challenge: The City of Port Phillip required the rapid, compliant, and discreet acquisition of critical land to deliver a 10-year open space strategy in underserved areas. The risk was slow capital deployment and failure to secure sites in a competitive market.

Our Intervention: Precision Execution and Accelerated Capital Deployment We converted the Council’s long-term strategy into an immediate, targeted acquisition program. By managing a continuous pipeline of due diligence, valuation, and negotiation, our team successfully delivered the 10-year mandate in less than one-third of the anticipated time (3 years)

Our achievements:

• Accelerated Delivery: Executed the strategic plan with unmatched velocity, resulting in the compliant acquisition of 11 specific open space sites, totalling 2 hectares

• Acquisition Rigour: Coordinated and managed a multi-disciplinary specialist consultant team to ensure simultaneous, high-quality due diligence and robust valuation compliance across multiple complex negotiations.

• Strategic Land Banking: Ensured the successful and timely deployment of capital, securing critical properties in underserved areas, significantly de-risking the Council's open space future

• Result: Final acquisition and settlement of 11 strategically identified sites
