Honeycomebes Property Group | 9 ing more important to the industry with each passing year, and Peter says those considerations have long been “critical” to the Honeycombes Property Group. “We’ve been managing our developments in an environmentally sensitive way since one of our first projects in 1997,” he says. “It’s the outright obligation of our industry to ensure that’s being considered, and we’re always looking to adopt leading edge environmental standards.” As anexampleofHoneycombes’ commitment to achieving optimal environmental outcomes, Peter cites Itara at Riverway – for that project, the Group worked with a team of environmental professionals to relocate two 60 tonne rain-trees to a nearby recreational area on the edge of a site. For their efforts there, Honeycombes was awarded a UDIA North Queensland Award for Excellence in Environmentally Sustainable Development. COMMUNITIES WITHIN COMMUNITIES Peter estimates that 20 to 25 per cent of their customers are repeat buyers – which is the best indicator there is that they are meeting the needs, he says. Moving forward, he adds that he would like to see that number grow even higher. To accomplish that, he says the Group will continue to focus on relationship management, and will continue to deliver quality mixed-use developments that understand and meet the demands of communities within Queensland. “We’re going to continue to focus on projects like Central – projects where we’ll have restaurants, cafés, shops, cinemas, offices and residential spaces,” he concludes. “We want to develop projects where we can be a community within a community.”
