The Peer Review
THE PLACES, SPACES & FACES OF YOUR COMMUNITY
In the midst of spring, Melbourne is officially in motion. Inspections are buzzing. Gardens are blooming. And momentum is building in every pocket of the market.
It’s the season where real estate hits its stride, so it feels only fitting that The Peer Review reaches a milestone too: Issue 20.
This edition brings together the stories shaping our city right now. We spend a morning trackside with Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Danny O’Brien ahead of the spring racing season. Then, we trade the track for a table at Omnia alongside one of Australia’s top chefs.
You’ll also meet Partner Daniel Fisher – a familiar face with a few surprises up his sleeve. You’ll get up to speed on Victoria’s changing rental laws. And you’ll uncover our team’s favourite ways to enjoy the warmer weather.
Plus, our Sales, Property Management and New Projects teams share the insights driving today’s market – along with what to watch in the months ahead.
We hope you enjoy the read. And if it leads to a question (or ten), you know just where to find us.

Out and about: The outdoor adventures our team won’t stop raving about this spring
It’s that time of year again. The sun is starting to hang around a little longer. The layers are coming off. And Melbourne’s parks, coastlines and markets are coming back to life. And if there’s one thing we know about the team at Gary Peer, it’s that we never pass up a chance to get outside. Whether it’s hiking through ferny forests, sipping wine in the hills or diving into the bay, we asked them: Where do you go for an outdoor adventure? Here’s what they said.On the home straight: Inside the world of Danny O’Brien Racing
Before the city stirs and the sun begins to rise, Danny O’Brien is already at work. Saddles creaking, steam lifting from warm coats and the rhythm of gallops echoing across the track. This is the world Danny knows best – and the one he’s spent a lifetime building from the ground up. We sat down with the Melbourne-based horse trainer to trace the path from country tracks to racing’s biggest stage. And to hear about the moments, big and small, that shaped it all.The open book at open homes: Meet Daniel Fisher
If you were to time travel back 20 years to meet a young Daniel Fisher, you’d find him in class on the edge of his seat – anxiously awaiting the lunchtime bell so he could get to socialising. Looking at him today, it appears that the more things change, the more they stay the same. We sat down with the Daniel of today to find out if that sentiment continued to ring true throughout his life – and career – ever since.State of Play: Recent sales, key suburb data, market insights and so much more

Omnia is the kind of restaurant that invites you to breathe. Light spills through tall windows, greenery hangs above, and the kitchen – and the completely open kitchen hums along without fuss. We’re here for the lunch set menu. Pinot noir in hand, we settle in just as Stephen Nairn, Culinary Director of Omnia, joins us at the table. Our entreés arrive. We start eating. Between bites, we discuss the story behind the food, the restaurant – and how it all came to be.So, what are you waiting for?
