Satterley supports Brighton teenagers for another Big Family Night Out

Scores of Butler and Brighton teenagers have spoken, and Nigel Satterley has responded with a resounding “yes.”

 

Another big community youth event, Unite Youth 2, will be held at the Satterley Property Group’s award-winning Brighton Estate within the next few months.

 

The decision follows 150 written responses from local teenagers, and many parents, to the overwhelmingly successful inaugural Unite Youth night at Brighton recently.

More than 800 teenagers, young people and parents at that event had Satterley’s Brighton Estate ‘jumping’ as they enjoyed the community dancing, skating, the arcade games or trying to ride the bucking bull.

“This is simply a fantastic response,” Nigel Satterley said. “Of course, we will support these young people.”

“What a great result and encouragement for the Brighton Estate Residents’ Association, City of Wanneroo, the North Shore Church, local businesses, the Butler Community Centre and other community and sporting clubs who were involved in the previous event.

“That’s what our family first program is all about – providing healthy, wholesome community activities.”

Mr Satterley said it was gratifying that more than 150 teenagers would take the trouble to respond in writing urging another event. Most of them said that Brighton Unite Youth night was the best community event they had attended.

Satterley community and youth staff will again assist the planning, with one big difference - youth who attended the first Unite Youth night will help to plan the next event.

“This next event will be for teenagers and young people and be designed and presented by them,” Mr Satterley said.

He went on: “And what a great result to see the number of young people, and parents, who were able to be linked to local youth programs or dancing, sporting and recreational clubs in the Butler, Brighton and nearby suburbs from attending the first event.”

The spring event planning will revolve around the local community centre that operates ongoing youth outreach programs – the City of Wanneroo on Tuesday evenings and the North Shore Church on Fridays.

Community and Family Values Attract 800 to Brighton Youth Event


Australia’s biggest independent residential land developer Nigel Satterley has staked his success on one key theme – putting the community first.

And the hundreds of young people who had the Satterley Property Group’s Brighton Estate ‘jumping’ at an organised youth event can vouch that the family programs are working. 

About 800 teenagers and younger people danced the night away or took part in a multitude of events at the ‘Unite Youth’ event.

Mr Satterley said the program was a great credit to the Brighton Estate Residents’ Association, the City of Wanneroo, the North Shore Church, local businesses, the Butler Community Centre and other community and sporting clubs involved.

The youngsters had skate, BMX, dance, scooter and Guitar Hero competitions.

A disc jockey played great music. Many participants engaged in bucking ball, Gladiator, arcade games or the rock climbing wall.

“It was refreshing to get so many parents come up to our staff at the end of the night and praise the event,” Mr Satterley said. “Many made special mention of the Butler Community Centre staff who gave out information on the special services available in the area.”

The Satterley Property Group contributed most funding for the event, assisted by the Brighton Estate Residents’ Association, eight local businesses and the Home Buyers Centre.

“We create healthy, family communities and the Brighton marketing slogan - it’s what a community should be - says it all when events such as this are so successful,” Mr Satterley said.

Satterley is the industry pacesetter in assisting local communities to organise a wide range of free family and youth events including single women’s activities, community nursing programs, Carols by Candlelight, concerts and movie nights, art in the park and special occasion activities. The company has built schools, introduced new water technologies and fostered environmental activities.

Satterley pioneered free concerts with first class performers such as James Morrison, Wendy Matthew, Daryl Braithwaite –backed by outstanding local supporting artists – attracting crowds of up to 6000. 

Playgroup, face painting, bouncy castle and visits by City Farm animals are a regular occurrence and hike and bike trails, tree planting, IT training and coaching and mentoring for all ages all help to set Satterley estates, like Brighton, apart.  

It also produces local estate newsletters keeping everybody informed on any youth or other programs and has a local intranet facility.

The award-winning Brighton estate also has many examples of helping its community, such as its $200,000 outlay to build and fund The Shed, an apprentice-training facility teaching young people the ‘wet’ building trades. The Shed fast tracks local Year 10 students into apprenticeships.

Satterley also financed the presence of an Anglican priest, built the first café and convenience store, community meeting places and even paid for extensions to a dual lane public highway.

The Satterley group has donated millions of dollars to support churches, colleges and charity appeals and donated land for several Telethon and other charity homes.

Across Western Australia, Satterley’s community work includes the sponsorship of the Margaret River Fun Run and many other youth initiatives.

The company has spent $1 million to supply new soil and roll-on turf to upgrade the South Yunderup sporting ground at Austin Cove, helped to establish surf life saving clubs at Dalyellup and Secret Harbour and promoted Youth Advisory Councils on residential estates.

The Satterley Property Group employs full time staff for community development and a youth coordinator to organise events close to where the teenagers live.

Brighton Estate wins UDIA Award

 

 Satterley’s multi award-winning Brighton Estate has collected another gong, securing the 2009 Urban Development Institute of Australia’s (UDIA) Affordable Development Award.

It’s the fifth UDIA award bestowed on Brighton in the past three years and replicates the Institute’s 2008 acknowledgement as Perth’s most affordable estate.

Brighton won the UDIA’s award for Best Master Planned Estate in 2007 and 2008. In 2007 it also secured the award for Water Excellence and the Prime Minister’s award for its youth training scheme.

“We’re very proud to have won two consecutive UDIA awards relating to affordability,” Satterley CEO Nigel Satterley said.

“They came during one of the most testing economic times in recent history and they underline our philosophy of selling land at prices within the reach of as many people as possible.”

The total number of sales at Brighton is now approaching 4000 with more than 600 additional lots having been sold at prestigious Jindalee Beachside on the ocean side of Marmion Avenue.
