He served as a VCAT Member and qualified Mediator from 2008 until 2020. He has conducted small private property developments in parallel with his management and architectural services.

In January 2023, Peter made a considered decision to scale back Cactus Architects, to focus on the Graymatters part of his business, working as a sole practitioner. The mainstay of the business is to provide advice on Property and Construction Matters, Project Management and Superintendent Services, and expert reports.
