From laboring on job sites to managing multimillion-dollar projects, Ryan Van Der Woude has done it all. But in 2021, he walked away from traditional property development to create Futureland — a firm committed to sustainable, solar-ready, community-driven housing across Australia.

In this episode of Off the Grid, On the Record, we dive into:

• What most developers get wrong about sustainability
• Why Australia’s outdated planning systems are slowing progress
• How to build homes that LAST — not just sell
• The truth behind affordable housing, build-to-rent, and market scalability
• What Canada and Australia can learn from each other’s energy policies

This is a crash course in ethical development, smart planning, and future-ready real estate.
