Innisfail receives top industry award!

Hundreds of development industry professionals were on hand to celebrate as Innisfail received the prestigious Judges’ Award at the Victorian Urban Development Institute of Australia’s (UDIA) Awards for Excellence at an awards luncheon at Crown on Friday 3 December.

The judges recognised what more than 3,000 people now enjoy about life at Innisfail – outstanding master planning and design, a wide variety of homesites and a strong sense of community built around good quality amenities including sporting facilities, schools, shopping, transport and childcare within easy reach of residents.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said Innisfail was one of Peet’s first projects in Victoria and that receiving this special award was a real honour.

“Innisfail was innovative in its initial master plan and execution, and has continued to evolve and set new standards and trends in residential development for the area,” said Mr Gore.

“This award is great recognition for the Innisfail team, whose hard work and commitment to delivering the project vision and pushing the envelope has led to Innisfail’s success.”

“The entrants were impressive and diverse which makes it exciting for Peet to be recognised in this forum,” commented Mr Gore.

The UDIA Awards for Excellence honour the best in urban development from around Victoria. The Judges Award is presented to the project that the judges think provides an outstanding example of a planned and executed urban development across a number of the judging categories and is selected from entrants in the High Density, Urban Renewal, Master Planned Communities, Environmental, Affordability and Landscape categories.

Playtime even better with Innisfail’s support

Playtime at the Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library is now even more enjoyable thanks to new toys courtesy of Peet Limited’s Innisfail community in Point Cook.

Innisfail, together with the Tarneit Gardens and The Rise communities, has provided funding for the purchase of new toys through Peet’s Community Sponsorship Program.

The Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library provides families with children up to the age of five with affordable access to a varied selection of safe and age-appropriate toys that can help preschoolers learn and develop through play.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the Company was pleased to be supporting Little Buddies.

“The Little Buddies Toy Library provides a valuable resource to local families,” said Mr Gore.

“The sponsorship provided by the Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail communities will help to provide more toys that enhance the children’s learning and play time.

“The volunteers who run the library work hard to provide children with quality educational toys and we are pleased to be supporting them.”

The Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library has been providing local families with access to a wide range of quality toys for many years. The library’s first branch – in Kookaburra Avenue in Werribee – has been in operation for 13 years, and the Point Cook branch, located in the Point Cook Community Centre, opened in September 2009.

The Library’s Werribee branch is just a short drive away from Peet’s growing communities at The Rise and Tarneit Gardens, and the Point Cook branch is just minutes away from Innisfail.

Kathryn Saunders, Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library Treasurer, thanked Peet for its support.

“Peet’s contribution is the single largest donation by a private company to the Toy Library since it opened,” said Mrs Saunders.

“The funds will enable us to provide an even better range of new toys for the 250 families who are members of the library.”

Enquiries relating to Toy Library membership can be directed to the Little Buddies coordinator on 0434 863 570.

For more information on homesites in Peet’s newest Point Cook community, homebuyers can contact Sales Representative Minloo Germann on (03) 8353 1999 or visit www.kingsford.com.au. Kingsford is located opposite Innisfail Estate on Sneydes Road.

Peet teams up with students to celebrate National Tree Day

More than 25 students from Stella Maris Catholic Primary School, located within the Innisfail community in Point Cook, joined in celebrating National Tree Day with Peet Limited on 30 July 2010. 

Under the guidance of school gardener, Brett Hosie, the students planted 150 native plants donated by Peet in their school grounds.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the event, organised by Peet to celebrate National Tree Day, was designed to encourage young people to get involved in caring for their local environment.

“We’re pleased that we were able to work with Stella Maris Catholic Primary School on this project”, said Mr Gore.

“National Tree Day presented the ideal opportunity to educate children about the importance of environmental protection in a fun and interactive way.”

Stella Maris Primary School principal David Forbes said the students had really enjoyed taking part in the National Tree Day project.

“This project is a great learning opportunity for our students,” said Mr Forbes.

“They are passionate about protecting the environment and, as a school, we are proud to contribute to improving our local area.”

Stella Maris Catholic Primary School opened its doors within Innisfail in 2006, and draws its students from the Innisfail community and surrounding areas.

Mr Gore said sound environmental management has been an essential element in the design and planning of Peet’s Innisfail community.

“Our commitment to conservation, sustainability and environmental excellence has made Peet a multi-award winner, and the same attention to detail is being applied to Kingsford.”

Named in honour of aviation pioneer Charles Kingsford Smith, Kingsford is located opposite Innisfail on Sneydes Road, and will soon be providing new opportunities for homebuyers in the Point Cook area.

For more information on Kingsford, please contact Minloo Germann on (03) 8353 1999, or register your interest online at www.kingsford.com.au.

More ways to get active at Innisfail

Residents at Innisfail now have even more space for sports and socialising, as Peet Limited puts the finishing landscaping touches on a new open space along Boardwalk Boulevard.

The new reserve features shaded areas, plenty of trees and work is underway on a new sports field. Located close to the new Point Cook P-9 College, the reserve is perfect for some casual exercise or a weekend picnic with family and friends.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the new open space added to the network of established parklands already at Innisfail, including Little Master Park and Sidney Nolan Reserve.

“Innisfail has been masterplanned by Peet Limited to ensure residents can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, whether it’s cycling or walking along the network of paths,” Mr Gore said.

“The community offers gardens for a quiet picnic as well as active open spaces with climbing nets and sports facilities, which are ideal for active families and residents.”

The parks and open spaces have been a key attraction for homebuyers at Innisfail, with only a handful of homesites still remaining.

A range of other local services, including a public and private school, childcare centre, after school care and shopping village, also add to the convenient lifestyle on offer at Innisfail.

Santa spreads Christmas cheer across Tarneit and Innisfail

Hundreds of residents at Peet Limited’s Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail communities were given a cool start to the festive season with an unusual visit from Santa!

Trading in his sleigh for a Mr Whippy van, Santa toured each of the communities handing out free ice-creams and candy canes, and spreading Christmas cheer.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said Santa’s visit to the Peet communities was a terrific way to share the festive spirit.

“It was good to see so many of the residents – and especially the children – come out and share in the celebrations,” said Mr Gore.

Marking the festive season was another occasion for residents to get to know their neighbours, and simply enjoy the areas of open space that have been created to provide the opportunity for plenty of relaxation and recreation.

These Christmas celebrations are part of a wider community engagement program designed to support the vibrant, growing communities at Peet’s three established estates within the City of Wyndham.

Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail have each been carefully planned to ensure a wide variety of lot sizes are available to suit the needs of Wyndham’s rapidly expanding population.

New homesites complement expanding services at Innisfail

The latest land release on Saturday 13 June at Innisfail in Point Cook is offering growing families easy access to expanding educational facilities and local services.

The Stage 22a homesites, which range in size from 400sqm to 576sqm, are within walking distance of the new Point Cook North Primary School, which is set to open in 2010, and a new community shopping centre, scheduled to open in Spring 2009.

Mother of three Vicky Madytianos was so keen to secure a homesite at Innisfail that she camped overnight for her block of land.

Ms Madytianos said she was drawn to Point Cook because it had a number of excellent schools and was "a breath of fresh air" to her young family.

"I looked at a number of developments in Point Cook and decided that Innisfail offered everything we needed – it's a very family-oriented community, with great facilities."

Ms Madytianos' new home is near the school and close to a new village shopping centre, which is scheduled to open in late 2009.

"The boys are looking forward to settling in. They've been eyeing off the parks and cycling paths, and can't wait to get try them out," said Ms Madytianos.

Homebuyer's seeking more information about the new land release at Innisfail, can contact Innisfail Sales Manager Minloo Germann on (03) 9395 2155, or visit the Sales Office on Ponsford Drive between 12pm to 5pm, from Saturday to Wednesday.
