Our mission:
At Melbourne Development Services, we specialise in providing expert property development consulting services that turn vision into value. With a deep understanding of every phase of the property lifecycle—from concept formulation and feasibility, to construction oversight and final delivery—we empower developers, investors, and property owners to execute projects with confidence and clarity.
Founded on the principles of transparency, precision, and proactive communication, our firm brings together industry knowledge and strategic insight to streamline complex developments and minimise risk.
Whether it's residential, commercial, or mixed-use, we partner with you to deliver on time, on budget, and beyond expectations.
”Our mission is simple: to be the trusted partner you rely on to set the right path and manage the moving parts — so you can focus on the bigger picture.”
Who we are:
After 10 years of leading the Victorian office of one of the state’s leading project management firms and some of the largest, most complex projects in Australia, John Bradbury founded Melbourne Development Services to offer strategic, hands-on management across all stages of the property development lifecycle which is tailored, agile, and grounded in deep industry insight.
John brings extensive experience across residential, hospitality, office & retail development with notable projects including:
Australia 108 (Project Director) - Melbourne’s tallest building with 1,105 apartments, including Australia’s most expensive apartment at the time.
Melbourne Square (Project Director) - Multiple residential towers (total 1,050 apartments) & shopping centre anchored by Victoria’s first multi-level full line supermarket (Woolworths).
388 William (Project Director) - 296 room Hotel & 24,000m2 NLA office.
Standing alongside this record is a deep portfolio of small-mid scale high end residential projects, projects centred around heritage restoration and other large scale projects / transaction roles.
There is no substitute for this experience, however successful property development demands more than that; it demands an inquisitive mind and an ethos of transparency, detail and hard work.
Its with these traits that John, for two decades, has been formulating project and driving high performing teams to originate, develop and deliver iconic projects that positively contribute to Melbourne, in the form of both neighbourhood fine grain and city skyline.
