In the last 2 years following Mr Neumann's recommendation that the Company continue as a successful land development company, undertook major acquisitions at Point Grey, Melros and Dawesville in the Peel Region, Gidgegannup in the Perth Hills and Esperance on the south coast. These purchases laid the foundations for a future 5,000 lots to be developed over the next 10 -15 years.
As part of its long term planning, the Company has undertaken a number of strategic reviews and in accordance with good corporate governance, a succession plan has been formulated and a search for a new Managing Director has commenced.
Mr Neumann will stay on as a non executive Director and consult to the Company.
Mr Michael Perrott will stand down as Chairman effective 1st July 2009. Mr Perrott has been Chairman since 2002 and will stay on as a non executive Director.
