Our Story

We help shape development outcomes, then deliver them.

Stonebank is an independent, director-led property development advisory and delivery firm operating across Australia, primarily in Victoria and Queensland. We draw on more than 100 years of combined senior experience to support clients from early feasibility through to asset performance.

Our approach is pragmatic and hands-on, tailored to the individual client and project. We position ourselves as an extension of our clients' teams — providing clear advice and practical solutions in complex, regulated and commercially sensitive environments.

We lead, manage and deliver property development projects, integrating strategic planning and proactive risk management to support value creation and well-governed outcomes across the full asset lifecycle.

Why Stonebank

Senior-led involvement

Directors and senior specialists remain embedded through delivery, not just at the strategy table.

Practical, hands-on experience

Genuine delivery experience across development and construction — not just advisory theory.

A tailored approach

Every engagement is shaped around the client, the asset and the risk profile in front of us.

Built for complex environments

Strong capability in regulated, live-operational and stakeholder-sensitive settings.

What Clients Say

Trusted across some of our most complex engagements.

"Stonebank has demonstrated exceptional project leadership, rigorous risk and issues management, and a highly professional ability to integrate seamlessly with our executive team, consultants and delivery partners. They bring clarity and structure to complexity, anchoring every stage of delivery in value, accountability and long-term operational performance."

Sonya Smart

CEO, VMCH

"Stonebank has been closely involved with Springtree from the early stages and has played an important role in shaping how we plan, govern and deliver our projects. Their advice is grounded in real experience and focused on what works, not theory. Their ongoing involvement has provided confidence as we've grown our development pipeline."

David Laing

Co-CEO, Springtree

"VincentCare Community Housing engaged Stonebank to provide independent construction quality advisory services on our Footscray development. Their structured approach and clear, practical advice significantly improved construction quality and reduced long-term asset risk as the project progressed toward completion."
