Renew Projects, a multi-trade service and subsidiary of Pacific Link Housing, is making great strides on its journey towards sustainability and community support.

Having commenced operations in February 2024, Renew Projects has made a substantial charitable contribution of $3,000 to Pacific Link Housing.

The donation will directly improve the environmental sustainability of Pacific Link Housing’s affordable housing developments, including the recently completed 14-unit development at Canton Beach and more than 80 additional units currently in the pipeline.

The funds will support the integration of eco-friendly features such as solar energy networks, rainwater harvesting systems and other sustainable initiatives across the properties.

Renew Projects General Manager Angus Ramsey said it was remarkable to contribute to Pacific Link Housing in such a tangible way so early in the service’s journey.

“This donation underscores our commitment to not only provide quality renovation and maintenance services but also a business that invests its profit for a purpose,” he said.

Group Executive Manager Operations at Pacific Link Housing, Llewellyn Visagie, said the donation was a crucial investment in the provider’s continued effort to incorporate sustainability in its operations and development projects.

“This aligns perfectly with our ESG goals (environmental, social, governance), ensuring that we not only build affordable homes for people needing support but also contribute to a greener future for our community,” he said.

Visagie said the partnership between Renew Projects and Pacific Link Housing continued to set a precedent for how businesses could operate with a strong focus on ESG themes, paving the way for a sustainable future.
