Melbourne placemaking

Thriving communities, not just buildings.

We leverage data to create vibrant places that address people’s changing lifestyles, help entrepreneurial retail businesses succeed, and deliver on commercial imperatives for property developers and landlords.

Location Intelligence

In partnership with BlueRock’s industry-leading PropTech business, propella.ai, we deliver new insights on placemaking opportunities through cutting-edge data intelligence. This includes market assessment of the retail opportunities and threats, as well as incredible insights into the behaviours, characteristics and attitudes of workers, residents and visitors.

Testimonials

We love what we do, and apparently so do our clients.

BlueRock’s outsourced accounting service is an invaluable part of our business. Having one team prepare our bookkeeping, payroll and financial reporting provides a seamless experience, and the monthly reporting and meeting cycle keeps us on track to focus on what’s important for us to reach our business goals. Also, the regular catch-ups mean that BlueRock is fully across our strategy and feel like part of our team. The accounting services team provides management accounting services, including annual forecasting, budget to actual variance reviews and margin analysis and have helped us with multiple capital raises and an employee share scheme (ESS). It’s a great partnership that allows us to work alongside a fellow B Corporation and together run great businesses that have a positive impact!

Chris has been my trusted Insurance Broker for some time now. I trust Chris with my clients and their investment properties because of the attention to detail, level of care he puts into each policy and the amazing feedback I receive from my clients after each interaction. Chris is transparent, takes the time to understand what's important to my clients and educates them along the way. With all of the recent changes in renting laws and the upcoming changes to come, I have peace of mind knowing that Chris is prepared with the best advice and solutions for my clients and their assets.

Eastwood Golf Club has been using the BlueRock payroll team (previously Crawshay Consultants) for over 10 years and have found them to be very professional. We have staff across a few awards, but BlueRock have no problem paying the correct rates. They provide an accurate and knowledgeable service and their reports allow us to analyse our different cost centres. They have always been very friendly and provide prompt and efficient customer service.
