Community Engagement

We place incredible importance on positively impacting the communities we serve.

Through considerate construction, donations, sponsorships, and volunteering, we are able to connect with neighbourhoods and contribute to a strong and vibrant community.

Our community engagement programmes enable us to open two-way communication channels with the public and support local schools, organisations and businesses, building relationships and a reputation that cultivates goodwill and lays the groundwork for future collaborations and community support.

We focus our community engagement activities on four main areas:

Education
Health and wellbeing
Sports
Local community engagement
