Renew projects' early success leads to charitable donation

Renew Projects, a multi-trade service and subsidiary of Pacific Link Housing is proud to announce a significant milestone in 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.

This donation will directly improve the environmental sustainability of Pacific Link Housing’s affordable housing developments, including the recently completed 14-unit development in Canton Beach and over 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 these properties.

Angus Ramsey, General Manager of Renew Projects, expressed enthusiasm about the company's early success and its impact.

“It’s truly remarkable to contribute to Pacific Link Housing in such a tangible way so early in our 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.”

Llewellyn Visagie, Group Executive Manager Operations at Pacific Link Housing, highlighted the importance of this contribution.

“Renew Projects' donation is not just financial support - it's a crucial investment in our continued effort to incorporate sustainability in our operations and development projects. This aligns perfectly with our ESG goals, ensuring that we not only build affordable homes for people needing support but also contribute to a greener future for our community."

The partnership between Renew Projects and Pacific Link Housing continues to set a precedent for how businesses can operate with a strong focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes, paving the way for a sustainable future.

Renew Projects is a social enterprise wholly owned by Pacific Link Housing specialising in maintenance, renovation projects and property upgrades. www.renewprojects.com.au

Housing is not a noun; it’s a verb

August 10, 2025

The AHI acknowledges the tireless efforts of those working within the homelessness sector, supporting the thousands of people experiencing homelessness and searching for meaningful pathways to live normal, productive and healthy lives. Our #HomelessnessWeek2025 sector forum in Sydney saw over 150 leaders, workers, politicians, policy makers, social impact collaborators, change makers and – most importantly - people with lived experience come together to talk about the impact of homelessness and share innovative responses within our community. Collaboration is key and the vibe in the room was inspiring. Real people making real differences. But we know it is far from enough and we must all strive to do more. We commend the NSW Minns Government, in particular the Hon Rose Jackson MLC, for their bold commitment to ‘make homelessness rare, brief and not repeated because people have a safe home and the support to keep it’ through the release of the NSW Homelessness Strategy 2025-2035. Thanks to Rebecca Pinkstone CEO Homes NSW and Dom Rowe CEO Homelessness NSW for their strong leadership and commitment to ending homelessness and providing more people with a home. The AHI continues to support and connect the workers who turn up, show up and get things done. Every single day.
