From land to settlement: How development finance comes together

Land acquisition, construction funding, land banking and residential communities, the stages of a compliant development.

Development finance supports a project across its whole life: acquiring the site, funding construction, and holding land for future stages. Structured correctly, each stage draws the funding it needs without carrying costs it doesn't.

The funded stages

  • Land acquisition, securing strategic development sites and future opportunities
  • Construction finance, funding residential, commercial and mixed-use builds
  • Land banking, acquiring and holding land for future development
  • Residential communities, townhouses, duplexes, subdivisions and apartments
  • Commercial developments, retail, office, warehouse and mixed-use projects

Who it's for

DUNE provides access to Islamic development finance for developers, investors and landowners across Australia, including community-focused projects like mosques and schools. Because we work across the full market of Islamic products, the structure follows the project rather than the other way around.

If you're planning a project, bring the feasibility early, the right structure at land stage makes every later stage cheaper to run.
