Earlier this month, we were honoured to have a smoking ceremony mark the start of construction on the second stage at Bella Vista Haven on Darug Land in Greater Sydney’s Hills Shire.
The ceremony was performed by Uncle Graham Davis King, an internationally celebrated Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa artist, author, dancer, and board member of the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC).
Members of the Bella Vista Residents Committee as well as Aveo and Growthbuilt team members were invited to be part of the incredibly special ceremony to pay respect to the traditional custodians of the land.
Aveo is dedicated to encouraging greater involvement of First Nations Australians in our teams, communities, and business networks. These commitments are guided by our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and you can find more information about our RAP here.
We acknowledge the deep connections to lands and waters held by First Nations People, show our appreciation to these lands and waters through our reconciliation initiatives and through our focus on environmental sustainability across all areas of our business, including development.
This exciting stage of construction at Bella Vista Haven is due for competition in August 2025 and will include 83 stylish apartments and an indoor pool complex, library, and cinema.
Thank you to the Aveo and Growthbuilt teams for arranging this wonderful event at Bella Vista Haven.
