Three Western Australian artists have been selected from more than 60 applicants to create five unique artworks for the first phase of the Wellard Public Art Project.
The Project, which is being undertaken by joint venture partners Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, aims to establish a series of iconic images for the estate and deliver significant community, cultural and educational outcomes for the local area.
The commissioned artworks include a mosaic outside the Wellard Train Station, a large-scale landmark sculpture and three smaller sculptures around the village centre.
The successful artists, Jenny Dawson, Tony Pankiw and Judith Forrest, are now hard at work creating their pieces in preparation for installation next year.
English born artist Judith Forrest will create a family of bush guardian sculptures for her three-piece display around the Village Centre. Cast in bronze, the three family members – father, mother and child – will each carry a different native animal.
The landmark sculpture will be created by award-winning artist Tony Pankiw, whose piece will depict a curved tree with three leaf outlines extending from the branches. These will become picture frames containing images of Wellard, like the train station and the sports ground.
Drawing on the history of the area, well known Western Australian mosaic artist Jenny Dawson and Nyoongar Visual Artist Sandra Hill, will create a colourful mosaic with a depiction of three spirit figures going on a journey at its centre. Trees and water will also feature heavily to highlight the historical importance of the Wellard region as a food gathering and hunting area.
Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said it was pleasing to have such a high calibre of local talent involved in the project
“Each of the artists has represented a core element of the estate in their design, with themes of family, history or the environment,” said Mr Gore.
“This will encourage a strong sense of community connection to the artworks as it reflects the environmental and social values the estate has been based upon.”
The Wellard Public Art Project comes on the back of the highly successful Community Art Project which recently resulted in the installation of a series of unique artworks, created by members of the local community, students from the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School and a team of youth participating in a local Green Corps project.

A merry ‘Village Christmas’ for Wellard residents
Christmas arrived early at The Village at Wellard, with more than 150 residents celebrating the estate’s first ‘Village Christmas’ on the weekend (Saturday 29 November).
With many families bringing young children to enjoy the festivities, the roving performer, face painting, bouncy castle, animal farm and sounds from popular Perth entertainers the Gumnut Stompers, were big hits on the day.
But a special cheer was reserved for Father Christmas who arrived on a fire engine to hand out treats.
The festivities were hosted by project joint venture partners, Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, at the Wellard Community Pavilion.
Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the event was a great opportunity for the local community to come together and celebrate this special time of year.
“Providing the places and opportunities for residents to meet and interact is an important part of building the community at The Village at Wellard,” said Mr Gore.
“The Wellard Community Pavilion has been providing a great community facility since its official opening in March this year and it was fantastic to see so many people enjoying the celebration, activities and entertainment.”
The successful ‘Village Christmas’ caps off a very successful year at The Village at Wellard with a number of achievements throughout the year.
Just last month the joint venture partners were rewarded at the Not-for-Profit Network Awards with the Ngulla Community Nursery winning the Partnership of the Year Award and earlier in the year The Village at Wellard received the Judges’ Award at the Urban Development Institute of Australia (WA) Awards.
With more than 690 of the estate’s 2,700 homesites now sold, The Village at Wellard community continues to grow with more than 320 households now moved in to the estate.
There is a range of homesite options currently available for people looking to make this multi-award winning estate home, from large homestead lots, to more traditional size family lots and low maintenance cottage lots.
To meet market demand for affordable home sites Peet recently released six new lots, perched on the edge of natural wetlands, ranging in size from 537sqm to 551sqm and priced from just $145,000.
There is also some 32 lots available south of the railway line in Wellard, ranging in size from 287sqm to 2,051sqm and priced between $138,000 and $380,000.
An added benefit for all purchasers is Peet’s Flying Start package – which at The Village at Wellard includes a level block with retaining walls where required, front garden landscaping and reticulation – making it easier and more affordable to build and establish their new home.

Thousands more good reasons to build a dream home at a Peet Limited estate in Victoria
Interest rate cuts, stamp duty concessions and a $26,000 cash boost for first home buyers means building a brand new home at a Peet Limited estate is even more affordable.
First home buyers simply need to purchase their home site and sign a building contract between 14 October 2008 and 30 June 2009 to access their share of the Federal Government’s new $1.5 billion First Home Owners Boost.
Supplemented by a $5,000 State Government’s first home owner bonus – the two deliver a giant $26,000 kick start for first home buyers in Victoria.
First home buyers also save thousands through State Government stamp duty cuts announced earlier this year.
Plus, interest rate falls have seen some lenders drop their rates by more than 1% in the past two months. For a purchaser borrowing around $300,000, the savings quickly add up to around $2,200 over a full year.
When combined, the savings add up to thousands of good reasons to purchase a new homesite at a Peet estate in Victoria.

Wellard community artworks unveiled
The Wellard Community Art Project – which produced a series of unique artworks, created by members of the local community, students from the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School and a team of youth participating in a local Green Corps project – was unveiled at a special celebration on Saturday (1 November).
More than 30 members of the local community joined project partners, Peet Limited the Department of Housing and Works, Town of Kwinana and Peter Carnley Anglican Community School to celebrate the culmination of this exciting project.
The project was also supported by Challenger TAFE and received funding support from the Community Arts Network WA.
Guests soaked up the sunshine, took time to stroll through Linear Park and view the new artworks and enjoyed the antics of a roving circus performer.
Launching the art project Town of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said that community art is something that Council feels is very important.
“Art gives people a way of expressing their creativity,” she said. “And it allows them to reflect on what living in Kwinana means to them.”
The artworks, which now contribute to the creation of dynamic, interactive areas of public open space within The Village at Wellard, were completed at a series of community and student workshops guided by professional community artist Christine Martin-Hegarty and assistant artist, Elena Lane.
A group of interested local residents, who took part in the community workshops, designed and decorated seating made from timber salvaged from The Village at Wellard estate with clay, painting and carving techniques.
The students, from Peter Carnley Anglican Community School, produced four large mosaic artworks with kindergarten students contributing their footprints to a clay border around the mosaic work.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said the project had provided the opportunity to establish further links with local community groups and residents, enhancing the strong sense of community spirit which is already developing at The Village at Wellard.
“The level of support and commitment from the community has been fantastic,” said Mr Gore. “And the result is a great series of artworks which will provide a lasting legacy for community to enjoy.”

Carramar Golf Course Estate a hit with home buyers
Carramar Golf Course Estate’s large blocks and natural surrounds are proving a hit among home buyers, with more than 30 new home sites sold in the past seven weeks.
To meet the demands of new home buyers – equating to a property sale every day and a half – Peet Limited has brought forward the release of 21 lots this week.
Priced from $217,000, the lots in Parkside Release 3 and stages 15 and 18 offer buyers good value for money, with a variety of lot sizes available priced to suit almost every individual.
Together with Peet’s Flying Start package, which includes a level block with retaining walls, where required, plus side and rear fencing (in Delamare Park precinct) and front garden landscaping, Peet Limited is making it more affordable for buyers to build a new home.
Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the recent addition of the Federal Government’s First Homeowners Boost was enabling more people to join the community lifestyle at Carramar Golf Course Estate.
“The Federal Government’s boost is clearly encouraging first home buyers to enter the property market, with about half of our purchasers in the past seven weeks being first home buyers,” said Mr Gore.
“Affordability is always a key consideration in Peet’s residential developments, so it’s good to see more young people investing in quality estates like Carramar Golf Course Estate.
“Since opening in 1995, the estate has grown in leaps and bounds and its excellent planning and environmental consideration has been recognised by industry bodies such as the Urban Development Institute of Australia.”
Carramar Golf Course Estate has been awarded an Urban Development Institute of Australia (WA) Award for Excellence and a City of Wanneroo Environmental Excellence Award.
It boasts a convenient location between Currambine and Joondalup train stations. It also offers many recreational activities, being only minutes from the ocean and bordered by a picturesque golf course, Neerabup National Park and Joondalup Lakes.
A new community centre, three primary schools and a secondary school are also located within the estate. Construction of the $20 million Carramar Village shopping centre is currently underway and scheduled to open March 2009.

“The accredited 5-star energy efficient home designs provide home buyers and builders with
the option to develop houses that provide long-term financial benefits of reduced energy consumption.”
Dennis Family Homes’ Area Manager Neil Hodson said good design and value for money could be found at its two new display homes at Innisfail Estate.

homes merged both life and style with a truly functional and fresh result.

ideas with a particular focus on home entertaining and integrated alfresco areas,” said Mr

Twin Rivers boost for local groups
Applications are now open for the first round of the Twin Rivers community sponsorship program, and there is no better time to nominate your community projects and events.
The sponsorship program is supported by Peet Limited through its Twin Rivers Estate and supports the groups and volunteers who are making a significant contribution to the Australind community.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said the sponsorship initiative is an important part of the project’s commitment to the local community.
“The Twin Rivers sponsorship program is open to local groups such as schools, volunteer associations, service agencies, sporting clubs or individuals, and can be used to help kick-start a project or event, or strengthen a group’s community activities,” said Mr Gore.
“I encourage local groups to apply, taking this opportunity to add to existing activities or perhaps get a new initiative off the ground,” he said.
Peet Limited is currently managing the development of a 126-lot residential estate at Twin Rivers in Australind on behalf of the Marist Brothers. The land is made up of 39 hectares located where the Brunswick and Collie Rivers meet and is behind Barnes Avenue in the heart of Australind – and more than two thirds is being preserved as natural bushland.
“Only 12 hectares are being developed for residential purposes, ensuring residents and locals can enjoy the superb natural environment,” said Mr Gore.
The first lots at Twin Rivers Estate were released earlier this year averaging 678sqm with an average price of $218,000. Some lots offer glimpses of the estuary and others have views to the Ferguson Valley. Most of the homesites have impressively wide frontages, are fully retained and include boundary fencing and front garden landscaping.
To complement the range of lots available at the estate, homebuyers can now choose from five unique house and land packages by some of Western Australia’s leading home builders with designs from Dale Alcock, Content Living, Plunkett Homes, Summit Homes and WA Country Builders.
Each house and land package showcases modern trends in home design and boasts affordable prices ranging from $402,000 to $485,100 (prices will vary according to lot selection and home specifications.)
Sponsorship application forms are available by downloading from http://www.twinriversestate.com.au/lifestyle-community.asp or by writing to:

Buyers can select their new contemporary home at Warner Lakes’ huge display village – which is the Queensland Master Builders Association’s largest Display Village – showcasing 48 homes by the State’s leading builders.
Located 22 kilometres north of Brisbane, Warner Lakes offers families the opportunity to be part of a growing local community in Warner, which the Queensland Government estimates will double to almost 10,000 residents by 2025.
House prices in the suburb have increased by close to nine percent in the past 12 months to August 2008.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said Warner Lakes started development in 2003 and continued to be popular among singles and families alike due to its convenient location to the city and the Sunshine Coast.
“More than half of the estate – some 700 lots – have now been sold at Warner Lakes, which is a great milestone for Peet’s growing development in Queensland,” Mr Gore said.
“Given Warner Lakes will eventually be home to more than 1,300 households, we are working hard to apply the highest standards to the estate and to amalgamate both natural and man-made environmental features to create a thriving, sustainable community.”
Peet Limited is investing more than $5 million into lake features and landscaping at Warner Lakes, which will include a 20-hectare park with picnic areas, playgrounds and sporting areas.
When complete, it will be a thriving, master-planned residential community offering inviting open spaces, quality homes and many other features that add up to an easier, more relaxed way of living.
Buyers purchasing land before the end of November, can take advantage of a free landscaping and fencing package worth up to $10,000. Peet is also offering $2,000 cash for buyers who complete their home and landscaping within the estate home design guidelines and specified timeframes.

Industry accolade for The Village at Wellard
More than 500 development industry professionals were on hand to witness The Village at Wellard receiving the Judges’ Award at the Urban Development Institute of Australia’s WA Awards for Excellence at Burswood last weekend (Saturday 30 August).
The Award, which is presented at the judges’ discretion, recognises outstanding achievement or innovation in a particular aspect of development.
In awarding the honour to The Village at Wellard the judges recognised the innovative community enterprise that Peet and its partners have established in the Ngulla Community Nursery.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said it was a great honour to receive such an accolade for the joint venture project being undertaken with the Western Australian Department of Housing and Works.
“It’s an exciting project, demonstrating how philosophy can translate to reality with very encouraging results. We know we are setting an example for future developments and particularly those in environmentally sensitive areas.”
The Nursery, which was launched in August 2006, provides much-needed plant stock for the growing estate, as well as horticulture, natural resource management education training for local youth and the community.
A key motivation for establishing the community nursery was to grow plants native to the local area and generate training opportunities for local Kwinana youth.
The project is a joint initiative of the Department of Housing and Works and Peet Limited in conjunction with Bridging the Gap, the Medina Aboriginal Cultural Community, Town of Kwinana, and BHP Billiton Nickel West.
It is now producing up to 100,000 native seedlings each year for use both within The Village at Wellard and other projects on a commercial basis.
The Village at Wellard’s commitment to planning and sustainability has already been recognised with seven industry awards including the Planning Institute of Australia’s Award for Excellence in Environmental Planning and Conservation WA, the Housing Industry Association’s GreenSmart: WA Development of the Year and the Landscape Industries Association’s Best Environmental/Rehabilitation/Conservation Project (WA).
The Village at Wellard community continues to grow, with more than 630 lots now sold. It will eventually be home to 2,700 households, living on 320 hectares including 28 hectares of landscaped parks, 17 hectares dedicated to a Bush Forever site and 10 hectares of conservation wetlands.
To find out more information or register your interest in this award winning estate, please visit The Village at Wellard Sales and Information Office on the corner of Runnymede Gate and Cliveden Avenue or www.thevillageatwellard.com.au.

Peet delivers another record profit
- Net profit after tax increased by 5.3% to $47.9 million.
- Earnings per share increased to 21.6 cents.
- Record final dividend of 10.75 cps fully franked (full year: 19.75 cps fully franked).
- Gearing ratio at year end of 37%.
- 69% of EBIT from Vic and Qld and 31% EBIT from WA.
- Strengthened management team.
- $300 million wholesale land syndicate established.
- Acquisition of 5,600 lots across Australia.
- Land bank of approximately 37,000 lots, with an estimated on-completion value of $7.4 billion, if sold at today’s prices.
Group Operating Highlights
Peet Limited Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Gore, said the record result was achieved in very mixed market conditions, driven particularly by solid earnings from the Company’s east coast operations.
“Despite difficult trading conditions, Peet’s underlying business has performed well during FY08,” said Mr Gore.
“This performance demonstrates the fundamental strength and quality of our business model – and the experience and skill of our entire team.
“Specifically, the earnings growth is due to the continuing strength of the Company’s land syndication business, strong residential land sales in Victoria and Queensland and a satisfactory performance in a challenging Western Australian market.”
Some 69% of EBIT came from Peet’s Victorian and Queensland operations, while 31% of EBIT came from Western Australian operations, building on recent trends.
“This is the fourth consecutive year in which more than half the Company’s EBIT has come from east coast business activities and we are continuing to grow the business right across the country with strategic acquisitions and a well-mapped production pipeline,” said Mr Gore.
Peet Limited Chairman, Tony Lennon said the Company had achieved an increase in earnings per share to 21.6 cents per share for the year, and the Directors had declared a final dividend for the year of 10.75 cents per share, fully franked.
“That brings the total dividend per share for the year to 19.75 cents – or 28.2 cents per share before tax allowing for 100% franking,” he said.
Peet’s land bank continues to be an underlying strength with a total of some 5,600 lots acquired during the year. At year end, the Peet land bank stood at approximately 37,000 lots with an estimated oncompletion value of $7.4 billion, if sold at today’s prices.
Included in the year’s acquisitions was a rare 243 hectares of ocean front land at Alkimos on Perth’s northern beaches, which was purchased by Peet Limited’s first wholesale syndicate established late in 2007. It is anticipated the Alkimos project will yield in excess of 2,800 dwellings.
An Alkimos retail syndicate opportunity will be released in the first half of FY09. Land sales and settlements The Group sold a total of 2,274 lots from its managed and owned projects during the year grossing in excess of $370 million in sales.
Meanwhile, settlements were achieved on more than 2,400 lots grossing more than $426 million in sales revenue. At the end of the year the Group had in excess of 940 lots across its managed and owned projects that had sold but were yet to settle for a value of almost $183 million.
During the year Peet sold 814 Company-owned residential lots. The pre-tax earnings increased 7.8% to $34.8 million on revenue of $111.6 million from 806 lots settled.
Peet has also progressed development of its first over-55s venture with the first display home at Peet Senior Living’s Lattitude Lakelands site in Western Australia opened, and construction commencing on the first 31 homes in Stage 1. A total of 21 pre-sales has been achieved and are scheduled to commence settling in FY09.
Peet Limited’s strength in land syndication was again evidenced with revenue from land syndication increasing by 7.1% during the year to $45.6 million, contributing to a 10.8% increase in pre-tax earnings to $34.9 million. This result was achieved on the back of more than 1,400 lots sold and 1,484 lots settled across the syndicated portfolio.
“Once again, the improved result was attributable to sound demand for residential land across Victoria and Queensland,” said Mr Gore.
At year end, Peet was managing 28 syndicated land holdings nationally, half of which were located on the east coast of Australia.
During the year Peet also completed its first retail syndicate with land in three states and, in line with its national investor relations strategy, grew its investor base by attracting new investors from across Australia. Peet Tri State Syndicate Limited holds land in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales and the first lots are due to be released in the year ahead.
Changes to Management Structure
During the year, the Company appointed several experienced senior executives to the management team allowing the Managing Director and CEO to implement a new robust and efficient organisational structure.
“Peet has continued to invest for the future by adding highly skilled and experienced members to its executive and management team during the financial year,” said Mr Gore.
Capital Management
Peet had net bank debt at 30 June 2008 of $224 million while gearing (net bank debt/total assets – adjusted for market value) stood at 37%, which is within the Company’s target range of 30%-40%.
The Group maintained its three-year evergreen corporate facility with a maturity profile of 2.2 years and was 36.5% protected by fixed interest rate hedges. The average cost of debt for the year was approximately 7.8% and the interest cover was 4.21 times.
The Company is fully compliant with all its banking covenants.
“Peet remains well positioned with its banking facilities secured by its portfolio of high-quality property assets, solid operating cash flows and strong banking relationships,” said Mr Gore.
“Operating cash flows supported by additional borrowings were predominantly used to acquire and develop land during the year,” he said.
Strategy
Peet Limited’s focus, in what will be a challenging residential property market in the year ahead,
remains on delivering sustainable and steady growth in earnings for shareholders over the medium to long term.
Peet will continue to:
- focus on its core business of asset management, land syndication and funds management;
- seek opportunities to grow its existing funds management platform and capital partnering
- relationships;
- remain prudent with its capital management by recycling capital and managing gearing levels.
- address the affordability issue, ensuring a full range of product offering;
- leverage its land bank - generating further development opportunities; and
- ensure its operations are environmentally responsible.
“The Company is currently marketing and managing some 80 developments across Australia, well over half of which are on the east coast,” he said. “In the year ahead, sales at a further eight developments including seven on the east coast are scheduled to commence.
“Our production pipeline and marketing schedule underlines the strategic manner in which the
Company has built a strong and geographically diverse land bank with the objective of optimising
returns in varying market conditions and managing its business through property cycles,” said Mr Gore.
“We will continue to make prudent and strategic decisions about the allocation of capital, acquisitions and partnership opportunities.
“Peet Limited continues to operate under the same quality business model that has delivered
consistent growth over many years with a high level of transparency and responsible gearing.”
Outlook
“Peet Limited expects to be operating within a challenging Australian residential market in the year ahead, with clear signs that the difficult macroeconomic environment will persist in FY09,” said Mr Gore.
“Nonetheless, the fundamentals of the residential property market remain sound.
“While short-term issues such as affordability, purchaser confidence and investor activity can cause more volatile short-term cycles, long-term prospects for residential property development are strongly linked to underlying supply and demand.
“The current cycle has resulted in a major shortfall in housing supply relative to underlying demand, which is determined by factors such as population growth (driven by international migration) and employment rates – and those factors remain positive.
“Interest rates are also a key catalyst for consumer sentiment and, while anticipated lower interest rates are unlikely to spark an immediate response, it should have a positive impact on the residential property market,” said Mr Gore.
“Peet, with the strengths of its business platform, management experience and the geographic diversity of the business, is well placed to target ongoing earnings growth over the medium to long-term.”

Kwinana to benefit from Green Corps funding
An innovative, collaborative partnership between a private organisation, a local government authority, a landcare authority, an indigenous organisation, a community group and an employment/training agency has resulted in the group successfully securing Green Corps funding for a project to rehabilitate native bushlands and wetlands in the Kwinana area.
The 26 week Youth Greening and Growing the Environment project will commence in September this year, providing ten local young people the opportunity to contribute to the enhancement, conservation and ecological function of a number of existing natural environmental assets in Kwinana.
Each of the project partners – Peet Limited, Bridging the Gap Inc, Ngulla Community Nursery, Medina Aboriginal Cultural Community, Town of Kwinana and Swan Catchment Council – are committed to community involvement in achieving Kwinana’s environmental vision and youth development in Kwinana.
The innovative environmental training and youth development project will be run with Greening Australia as a part of the Federal Government’s highly successful Green Corps program, a youth development and environmental training program aimed at youths aged between 17 and 20.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said he was proud to support the program which delivers significant social and environmental benefits to local communities.
“This partnership has helped create something very positive,” said Mr Gore. “This is ‘real-life’ work experience that develops valuable skills in each of the participants and helps to create an environmental asset for communities,” he said.
“Peet’s previous involvement with Green Corps projects has been very rewarding and we’re looking forward to working with our partners, Greening Australia and the young people who get the opportunity to be involved.”
The project will provide diverse work and training opportunities and offer a range of interesting environmental, heritage and community projects across six different locations within broader Kwinana, including:
Ngulla Community Nursery – propagating and planting native plant species, building infrastructure and the installation of fencing
The Village at Wellard northern wetland – mulching, revegetating bushland and installing educational signage throughout the wetland. Other potential activities may include the constructing a new boardwalk.
Kwinana Beach – rehabilitating dune areas, developing a walk trail and erosion control.
Magenup Lake – weed control, constructing a fence and installing interpretive signage.
Clementi Reserve – rehabilitating walkways, constructing and installing fencing along trails and controlling weeds and mulching bushlands.
Spectacles Wetlands – rehabilitating bushland areas damaged in the 2007 Christmas fires by surveying existing plant re-vegetation, collecting seed for propagation, supporting weed spraying operations and removing dangerous objects
The Green Corps project aims to provide environmental outcomes which aid the conservation of Australia’s natural environment and provide youths with opportunities for improved employment and educational outcomes as they connect with their communities.
Each member of the Green Corps team will receive accredited training designed to develop practical skills to help them open the door to future employment opportunities. They will also receive first-aid and occupational health and safety training to complete their work-force experience.
If you are interested in getting involved in this project or would like to find out more, please contact Claire Hudson at Greening Australia on 0427 439 728.

Join in the opening celebrations at the Lakelands Community House
Lakelands residents and the local community are invited to join the City of Mandurah and Peet Limited to celebrate the official opening of the new Lakelands Community House on Saturday 9 August.
The Community House, located on the corner Dalona Parkway and Jasper Way in the award-winning Lakelands Private Estate is a community partnership project between the City of Mandurah and Peet Limited.
Her Worship the Mayor of Mandurah Paddi Creevey will officially open the Community House at 12pm, with a free fun-filled community event to follow running until 3pm.
An afternoon for the whole family to enjoy is planned, with a host of activities and entertainment including a roving magician, arts and crafts and informative community displays by local groups as well as a free sausage sizzle!
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said he was very pleased to see the completion of the project result in the opening of a great community facility.
“At Peet, we understand the importance of having the early provision of places and space for the community to meet and interact. This community building will provide an interim facility enabling the community to develop and form within their own suburb,” said Mr Gore.
“And the Lakelands Community House project is a great demonstration of what can be achieved through public and private partnerships.”
The Lakelands Community House is already the new home for the Lakelands Sales and Information Office and will also host future meetings of the Lakelands community groups. It will also be available for use by other local community groups, and will form a hub for Lakelands and the surrounding neighbourhood.
City of Mandurah Mayor Paddi Creevey said the Community House will provide a place for residents to meet, socialise, make new friends and gather information on services and activities available in the local area. She thanked the staff from both the Council and Peet Limited for all their work in finalising this project.
“Already people in the community are coming up with their own ideas about what they can use the House for and getting together to form groups which is tremendous to see,” Mayor Creevey said.

Environment gets green thumbs from Lakelands community
Residents and the local community are being invited to register to take part in a special community planting day at Peet Limited's award-winning Lakelands Private Estate on Sunday 27 July as part of Planet Ark's National Tree Day.
The tree planting site will be along the Arramall Trail from Ballard Meander Park to Campion Fairway. The Trail follows the same path as the Mandurah Rail Line and the new trees will provide a nature strip between the railway and nearby residential housing.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said "supporting National Tree Day provided a great opportunity for the community to get involved and help achieve lasting benefits for the local environment".
"Environmental protection and sustainability are key parts of the development at Lakelands Private Estate and Peet is pleased to be able to help support this valuable and worthwhile initiative," Mr Gore said.
Participants will get involved with the planting of some 1,250 plants, which when fully grown will create a natural corridor for birdlife and will also help prevent erosion in the area. They will also assist with ground preparation, mulching and weed control.
Tools and equipment for planting will be provided and participants will be treated to a barbecue and refreshments at the end of the day.
Two days earlier, on Friday 25 July, students from local schools including Mandurah Baptist College will take their learning out of the classroom for Schools Tree Day.
The students will gather at Winjan Park to learn about the natural bushland area and gain a better understanding of the significance of the Winjan bushland area as a historical source of food and medicine to the indigenous community.
It will also provide the opportunity for students to get their hands dirty participating in activities that will benefit the community by ensuring the park's protection and restoration of degraded areas. The students will also undertake an ongoing monitoring program of this pocket of bush in Lakelands Private Estate.
Anyone interested in participating in the event are invited to contact Clara Deans at Creating Communities on 9284 0910, or email clara@creatingcommunities.com.au.
Participants in the National Tree Day are encouraged to bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottles and gloves.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore congratulated the Wilkersons on their win and said the opening of the display home had been a great success.

It will also provide the opportunity for students to get their hands dirty participating in activities that will benefit the community by ensuring the park’s protection and restoration of degraded areas. The students will also undertake an ongoing monitoring program of this pocket of bush in Lakelands Private Estate.
Anyone interested in participating in the event are invited to contact Clara Deans at Creating Communities on 9284 0910, or email clara@creatingcommunities.com.au.
Participants in the National Tree Day are encouraged to bring a hat, sunscreen, water bottles and gloves.

Quattro delivers model of sustainability
Another step forward in sustainable home design was taken today (Monday 16 June), with the official opening of the Quattro Sustainable Home in Queens Park. The Quattro Sustainable Home now provides the people of Perth with a new source of information about creating a more sustainable home.
The home is an important part of Quattro: The New Queens Park, an urban renewal project being undertaken by the Department of Housing and Works, Peet Limited and the City of Canning.
Department of Housing and Works Director General John Coles, who officially opened the home, said he was particularly proud to officially launch a project that embodies all the exciting work the Department and its partners are now doing.
“Quattro will be another excellent example of the Department’s commitment to delivering more affordable housing lots, so more families and first homebuyers can realise their dreams,” Mr Coles said.
“It will also demonstrate how the Department’s urban renewal program can completely transform suburbs and the lives of people who live there.”
Mr Coles said the home demonstrates how sustainable practices can be incorporated into modern building designs in a highly affordable and practical way.
“The project partners are committed to sustainable development and the home is a great resource for people seeking information about what they can do in their own home to have a positive impact on the environment,” Mr Coles said.
Following the official proceedings guests were treated to a healthy lunch and tours of the home. The lunch menu reflected the produce found in the home’s edible garden and was prepared to highlight the benefits of incorporating a productive garden into the family home.
Designed by Solar Dwellings and built by Redink Homes, the Quattro Sustainable Home achieves an impressive 7-star rating for thermal performance.
It features 185sqm of living space including an open plan living area located to the rear, and a multifunctional living space at the front of the home.
Solar Dwellings Director Griff Morris said true passive solar design was a challenge with the Quattro Sustainable Home, given the constraints of the block.
“It is a great demonstration of what can be achieved on a ‘non-ideal’ block,” he said. “Many existing blocks in Perth face the same challenge so it was important for us to show that a naturally comfortable, light and airy home is possible.”
“With a few simple modifications the single story home can be built on any flat, north-east or north-west oriented block with as narrow a frontage as 12.5 metres and will achieve excellent thermal performance for natural heating and cooling.”
Just some of the Home’s key features include:
“The urban renewal of Queens Park is providing great benefits to the community, and the opening of the Quattro Sustainable Home marks a key milestone in the project,” said Mr Gore.
“This home provides a valuable resource for everyone looking for tips on how to improve the
sustainability of their own home.”
The Quattro Sustainable Home is located at 325 Wharf Street, Queens Park and is now open to the public on Wednesdays from 1pm to 4pm and both Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm to 5pm. It will also be come the Quattro Sales and Information Centre when sales commence later this year.

Peet’s Brigadoon estate will offer lifestyle choice
It’s a beautiful time of year at Brigadoon and it’s easy to see why interest in Peet Limited’s proposed special rural land estate is growing.
The 214 lots proposed – some with views to the city – will range in size from 1.5 hectares to 5.05 hectares, with an average size of 1.9 hectares so there's plenty of room to build the home of your dreams with views stretching across the Swan Valley to Perth city.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said the Brigadoon development would provide a new option for homebuyers looking to enjoy the tranquility of semi rural life. “It’s a wonderful area and the proposed development will create a sustainable community that is in keeping with the characteristics of the existing environment,” he said.
The Brigadoon development is just 30 kilometres north east of the Perth CBD, yet away from the hustle and bustle and set in an area of stunning natural beauty, within close proximity to Bells Rapids.
Another attraction is the significant amount of the site – 393 hectares of the 861 hectare property – being preserved as natural bushland or regional open space. Preserving this land as bush means it connects with a further 10,000 hectares of protected bushland around the estate including Walyunga National Park.
The Swan Valley's award-winning wineries, restaurants and cafes, glorious Vines Golf Resort, breweries, galleries and Midland City centre offer a wealth of amenities just a short distance away promising buyers added convenience.
There are a number of planned community facilities and amenities provided by Peet Limited as part of the development including a community centre, tennis court and lookout posts.

Young ‘green thumbs’ get Waterwise
Students from Pakenham Consolidated Primary School will officially launch their new Waterwise garden makeover on Tuesday 10 June, one of six new gardens presented to winning Victorian schools by Peet Limited.
The competition, designed to raise awareness of water conservation, received an impressive response with nearly 2,000 Victorian students across 23 schools participating.
Peet Limited uses water sensitive designs in all its estates, including local estate Cardinia Lakes.
The top three entries from each of the participating schools were put through their paces by the guest judges Melissa King, of Channel Nine's Garden Gurus and Darren Atkinson, President of the Landscape Architects Institute.
The six winning schools are in the final stages of garden makeovers, with students gaining a unique opportunity to contribute hands on with the planting of native, low maintenance, water wise shrubs and grasses.
Peet is a leading national diversified property company – an asset manager, land syndicator and property fund manager that has been trading continuously for more than 110 years.
Peet’s environmentally sensitive developments have earned more than 20 awards from organisations such as HIA GreenSmart, the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA), the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), Greening Australia, Landcare and Waterwise during the past decade.
Peet Managing Director Brendan Gore said the competition fostered the education and awareness of sustainable designs for water conservation.
“By giving younger generations the opportunity to research, design and gain feedback on their designs and watch the project come to fruition, we aim to inspire students to be conscious of the environment and the difference that they can make,” said Mr Gore.

Partnership paves the way for Community Art Project
A community arts project is set to get underway at The Village at Wellard with the help of a $7,800 Community Arts Network WA Catalyst grant.
The grant was secured by a partnership between The Village at Wellard joint venture partners Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, the Town of Kwinana and the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.
The Village at Wellard Community Art project will provide an exciting opportunity for residents and the wider Kwinana community to work together to create series of community artworks.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said this was a great result for all the partners involved and particularly for the local community.
"The community now has the opportunity to be part of creating their own identity," said Mr Gore. "I look forward to seeing the creation of these artworks which will reflect the community's environmental and social values and principles."
"I encourage all the experienced and budding artists in the Kwinana area to share their ideas and get involved in this project," he said.
The artworks will contribute to the creation of dynamic, interactive areas of public open space within the estate with feature works also planned to run along the pathway in Linear Park.
The project is being coordinated by community consultants Creating Communities Australia and will also involve the Medina Aboriginal Cultural Community and Challenger TAFE students.
Town of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said this was a great demonstration of what can be achieved through public / private partnerships.
"This project will deliver significant community, cultural and educational outcomes for the local community and create a cultural legacy for future generations," Ms Adams said.
A series of student and community workshops will be held, beginning in late July.
The grant was secured by a partnership between The Village at Wellard joint venture partners Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, the Town of Kwinana and the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.
The Village at Wellard Community Art project will provide an exciting opportunity for residents and the wider Kwinana community to work together to create series of community artworks.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said this was a great result for all the partners involved and particularly for the local community.
"The community now has the opportunity to be part of creating their own identity," said Mr Gore. "I look forward to seeing the creation of these artworks which will reflect the community's environmental and social values and principles."

New style of urban living on offer at Terraces Point Cook Junction
Peet Limited has launched a stylish new concept in urban living at its popular Innisfail Estate in Melbourne’s high growth western corridor.
Designed with lifestyle in mind, Terraces Point Cook Junction conveniently combines architecturally-designed townhouses with well located office space – all within the Innisfail Estate.
With strong demand expected, buyers are being urged to register their interest early for this exciting new housing product being introduced to the market by Peet’s residential built form division, Peet Living in collaboration with Burbank Homes.
The 46-site development located on Tom Roberts Parade, adjacent to Boardwalk Boulevard, will be sold in four stages, with prices for Stage 1 ‘House and Land Packages’ ranging from $295,000 to $575,000.
Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said he expected a strong response to the new product.
“The Terraces offers people a new style of suburban living,” said Mr Gore. “It will suit people looking for flexibility and a new way of balancing home and work life,” he said.
Six stylish floor plans have been designed by one of Melbourne’s leading architectural firms the Buchan Group to provide buyers with a variety of adaptable options. They range from single storey two-bedroom residence and study, a one-bedroom single storey with office, a two-bedroom townhouse residence above another two-bedroom residence, right through to a three-bedroom double story townhouse with an integrated ground floor office.
“Once buyers have decided on their homesite, they will be able to choose the design that fits their requirements – once constructed they will simply be able to move in and start enjoying the lifestyle,” said Mr Gore.
To ensure privacy and security, a unique twin-key system allows separate access to the different areas and floors. For buyers that means it will be like owning two discrete properties in one, making it possible to live in one half and work in the other, live or work in one half and rent out the other or simply purchase it as an investment.
Being at the heart of Innisfail Estate means residents are just 20 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD and also have easy access to established facilities in the Point Cook area such as, public transport, shops and medical facilities. Residents will also be just one kilometre from a proposed new Point Cook Shopping Centre which will provide all the conveniences one can expect in a $100 million retail and commercial development.
In the near future, Innisfail Estate will have its own village retail centre creating a community hub located adjacent to The Terraces.
