Careful masterplanning means Parks Edge is in the ideal location for active families.

By situating Parks Edge directly opposite the $30 million Casey Fields sporting complex, Devine has created a community that makes it easy for residents to live an active lifestyle.

The complex features four football and cricket ovals, three netball courts, 12 tennis courts, two rugby fields, 3km of walking paths and a golf practice cage. It’s also home to the Victorian

Football League’s Casey Scorpions and is the training ground for the Melbourne Football Club.

There’s an extensive network of walking paths that meander throughout the complex. And for those who enjoy angling, the Casey Fields Lake is stocked with rainbow trout.

In addition to encouraging family fun and fitness, the Casey Fields complex also holds a number of fundraising events.

In October, it will host the Make-a-Wish “Field of Wishes” Family Fun Run. Participants can choose a 4km walk or an 8km run. To add to the fun, there will be a jumping castle, face painting, craft tent and sausage sizzle.

The fun run is just one of many events on the active social calendar at Casey Fields.

Visit the Parks Edge Display Village this weekend

Something for all ages.

Youngsters play safely within view.

Home sweet homeThere are plenty of new houses on the market. But finding a real home is all about feeling comfortable.

That’s why the new Parks Edge Display Village is a must-see for homebuyers searching for

finishing touches that make all the difference.

The recently completed village features 17 display homes from eight quality builders. There’s also a range of home and land packages to suit all budgets and lifestyles.

An ideal time to visit the new Display Village is at the next Parks Edge Family Fun Day on Saturday 9 November.

While kids enjoy the face painting, jumping castle and other fun activities, parents can view the different home

designs on offer for family living at its best.

A growing communityPlans for a community market garden show that Parks Edge is where you can put down roots and really make a life.

The garden will be a space for residents to come together to grow fruit and

vegetables and share their fresh produce. This local initiative is part of the community’s commitment to sustainability.

The community garden will also encourage local children to become involved.

The garden will be a great way for young people to develop skills like gardening, enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and experience a sense of pride in growing their own produce.

Thoughtful planning at Parks Edge has created a community with everything residents need close to home.

Directly opposite Parks Edge is the Casey Recreation and Aquatic Centre, which includes a 50m lap pool, water play zone, waterslide, warm water exercise pool and café.

A short drive away are more sporting options like the Cranbourne Golf Club and Cranbourne Racecourse.

Meanwhile nature and garden lovers will appreciate having Cranbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens on their doorstep.

Also close by is a good choice of shopping including Westfield Fountain Gate, Dandenong Plaza and Centro Cranbourne.

Importantly for young families, Parks Edge has been thoughtfully located so that excellent education choices are nearby. Kindergartens and childcare centres, primary and secondary schools are all within close proximity.

Getting to and from Parks Edge is easy too with good access to the South Gippsland Highway, which connects to the CBD, Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and Bass Coast.

Devine has been a prominent feature of the Australian property industry since it was established in 1983.

Within a short time of its inception in South East Queensland, Devine established a reputation for building quality homes and residential land developments.

From the outset, the company was driven by a clear purpose.

“At Devine, we’re committed to a single goal. And that is, to give Australians of all walks of life the opportunity to purchase their own home,” said CEO David Keir.

Mr Keir is proud of Devine’s success in delivering on this promise.

“Since 1983, Devine has helped over 24,000 families to do just that,” he said.

From its beginnings in Queensland, Devine has expanded nationally.

By 1993, Devine had established its first board of directors and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of $65 million.

“Our transition to a public company was extremely successful and our early results exceeded the 1993 prospectus,” Mr Keir said.

The business kept on growing. By 2002, Devine was building nearly 2,500 homes a year, making it the fourth largest homebuilder in Australia.

“Devine opened offices in Victoria in 2005 and South Australia in 2007 and established a large scale construction

division which all continue to prosper and grow,” Mr Keir said.

Today, Devine’s operations span four states including New South Wales. Since the launch 30 years ago, Devine has delivered more than 21,000 homes, 3,500 apartments and created some 15,000 allotments across Australia.

Despite its growth from Queensland builder to ASX-listed company, Devine continues to follow the principles on which it was founded.

“While some of the faces may have changed since we started, we carry on the business today with the vision to create places that people are proud to call home,” Mr Keir said.
