  • Our Reputation

    Intrapac brings together the expertise of a national developer with the personalised approach of a privately owned business. This balance has shaped a reputation for delivering high‑quality residential communities that combine thoughtful design, long‑term value and strong commercial outcomes for partners, investors and residents alike.

From boutique luxury addresses and townhomes to large‑scale masterplanned communities, our portfolio reflects a diverse range of projects shaped by evolving lifestyles, local environments and market demand.

We believe in creating places people are proud to call home—communities that positively contribute to the built environment while delivering long‑term liveability, connection and value. Our team is personally invested in maintaining and evolving this legacy, bringing openness, collaboration and deep industry expertise to every stage of the development process.

Our Vision

Founded by Executive Chairman David Payes AM in 1984, Intrapac is a family‑owned Australian property developer built on a long‑term vision for creating connected, liveable communities. Over more than four decades, the company has delivered award‑winning masterplanned communities, townhomes and residential developments across Australia, generating lasting social, environmental and economic value.

Every new project begins with a disciplined approach to land acquisition, selecting sites based on location, natural assets and their ability to support well‑connected communities. From coastal neighbourhoods and urban infill to large‑scale greenfield developments, each project is shaped by a strong understanding of local environments, market demand and how people want to live.

Intrapac is recognised for its ability to unlock complex sites, with expertise in environmental and geotechnical remediation that transforms underutilised land while preserving and enhancing natural systems. A collaborative, delivery‑focused approach sees the business working closely with landowners, consultants, government authorities and local communities to bring each project vision to life.

Building on the vision established by David Payes AM, CEO Maxwell Shifman continues this legacy through industry leadership and a strong focus on responsible, high‑quality development. Through long‑standing involvement with the Urban Development Institute of Australia, Intrapac plays an active role in shaping the future of residential communities across Australia.

  • Our Commitment

    Each Intrapac project is shaped by a clear and compelling vision that brings together thoughtful urban design, landscaping, built form and housing diversity. This approach creates communities with a strong sense of place and enduring appeal.

    By focusing on quality, liveability and design integrity, our communities continue to perform well beyond completion—supporting strong demand and creating lasting value for purchasers, with many Intrapac neighbourhoods remaining highly sought after over time.

Sustainability

At Intrapac Property, sustainability is embedded into the way we plan, design and deliver residential communities. We believe positive environmental and social outcomes not only benefit residents and the broader community, but also contribute to the long‑term success and resilience of the places we create.

This commitment underpins long‑standing relationships with landowners, investors and partners who share our vision for responsible, future‑focused development. Intrapac has achieved more UDIA EnviroDevelopment accreditations than any other developer in Australia, reinforcing our position as a leader in sustainable residential development. In Victoria, Kinley achieved a “world‑leading” 6 Star Green Star Communities rating, recognising Intrapac’s performance across ecosystems, materials, water, waste, energy and community design.
