AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) Unitywater CEO, Anna Jackson with team at new Mango Hill corporate office. Image: Unitwater. As Unitywater enters an era of unprecedented growth, the utility needs a talented workforce in order to tackle these challenges head-on. Unitywater currently provides water and wastewater services to more than 800,000 people across Queensland’s south-east and over the next 20 years this figure is forecast to increase by an extraordinary 65 per cent, to more than 1.3 million residents. The backdrop to this significant growth trajectory is an exceptional natural environment and lifestyle, with coastal and hinterland communities that also welcome more than eleven million tourists annually. The organisations new southern base at Mango Hill sits between Brisbane city and the stunning Glasshouse Mountains, and for Unitywater CEO, Anna Jackson, it’s a privilege to live and work in this beautiful part of the world “With many others now wanting their holiday destination of choice to become their day-to-day lifestyle setting, it’s one of Australia’s fastest growing regions,” Ms Jackson said. “At Unitywater, our purpose is to be here for healthy and thriving communities.” “We need to serve our customers of today, protect the beautiful landscapes and lifestyle we all enjoy, and plan sustainably and responsibly for what we hand over to our customers of tomorrow – from the health of our environment to the reliability of our essential services and their affordability. “Joining Unitywater, I found a business that was ready to leverage its strong operational base and committed team through a growth phase, while having positive impact within our operating environment and its communities.” Last year, after consulting customers, team members and stakeholders, Unitywater outlined its 2030 Strategic Ambition. Aligned around four strategic themes – value every drop, customer of the future, keep it simple, and one Unitywater – the 2030 Strategic Ambition guides the team to shape healthy and thriving communities. “The strategy is an ambition for our organisation, towards becoming a mature, transformed business with a leadership role in the communities we serve,” Ms Jackson said. “Our goal is to meet growth challenges head on, while working towards net zero targets and meeting the community’s expectations, now and into the future. “Realising this shift, while meeting the needs of a growing region, means we need additional talented and motivated working people working within and alongside our business.” Competing for this talent against large multinational corporations based in the nearby capital city and navigating the changed workplace flexibility expectations of a post-pandemic employment market, Unitywater needed to better meet the market. “Millennials are the largest cohort in the working population – including the water sector – and are less likely to stay in one role, with more emphasis on development and work-life balance over financial reward,” Ms Jackson said. “Around this time, news reports and conversations with other organisations were confirming that mandated office attendance ratios were impacting culture and talent attraction.” Towards the end of 2023, 87 per cent of Australian businesses were reported to have introduced mandates – with four days a week being the most common – and 31 per cent having lost employees because of it. “In this context we developed our Working Better Together principles, to give our teams a framework to locally design and manage their normal work patterns, to balance our specific operational requirements, with their internal and external customer needs and personal preferences,” Ms Jackson said. “To start, we acknowledged that as a 24/7 essential service there are some roles that can’t be performed flexibly, and we were also clear that no one works from home all the time because we consider face to face contact integral to our strong organisational culture. “We then gave guidance on the moments and activities that can work remotely, those that are better in-person and those that are expected in-person. “Each team built a charter that defines how this works for them and their expectations of each other – from valuing time spent together, to which of our work locations they attend – and provides a mechanism for leaders to ensure their people are working safely.” Balancing traditional business thinking and contemporary employee expectations has been important to recruitment and retention, with Unitywater reporting that 100 per cent of candidates ask about flexible arrangements and around 40 per cent say they would decline a role if mandated significant office attendance. The utility’s turnover is down to 12 per cent, compared to the national average of 15 per cent. Cultural outcomes look positive too, with team involvement measures lifting 7.6 per cent halfway through the implementation process. Recognition for employment practices also recently came from Work180 ranking Unitywater its number one employer for gender pay equity, and BenchmarCX certifying it as a Triple R employer implementing responsive and respectful recruitment. “We believe that we are better together, and that when we share space, we increase creativity and collaboration,” Ms Jackson said. “Physical workspaces must support this way of working, so in May 2024 we moved our Southern Corporate Centre from Caboolture to Mango Hill, a location central to transport and closer to home for more of our future team and customers. “We reconsidered our traditional ways of working and aligned ourselves with an activity-based, technology-supported hybrid model that maximises the geography of our service area. “It complements our Northern Corporate Centre in Maroochydore, with the two office locations now better catering to people travelling to work from either Brisbane and Moreton Bay, or the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, contributing to our employee value proposition and attracting a stronger depth of skills and experience.” The location and modern fit out at the new Mango Hill office have seen daily occupancy levels regularly exceed 80 per cent, while the team-defined working patterns have lifted total real estate utilisation across all Unitywater sites by 21 per cent per square meter. These numbers will increase further, as Unitywater’s new long-term capital delivery partners start working alongside their team to Build Better Together. Earlier in 2024, the business signed initial five-year framework agreements with Downer, Dormway and Elevate (a joint venture of Aurecon and AECOM) to streamline the capital delivery process to support an era of significant growth. “We can see the influence population growth is having on our capital program, with 70 per cent of projects this year being growth-related, up from an average of 30 per cent over the past three years,” Ms Jackson said. “Our partners will support us to deliver our $1.8 billion capital investment program over the next five years, to secure reliable water services for our growing customer base. “We’re mitigating the impact of external factors like tight labour markets and booming infrastructure programs nationwide, by making sure our partners will be ready to work on our projects, meaning certainty and reliability for program delivery.” With 88 per cent of Unitywater’s team members living within the region they serve, their sense of working together also extends to the community they are part of. “Whether it’s the way we work as a core team, the way we partner to extend our team, or the way we share common experiences with our customers and communities, it’s always going to be better when we do it together.” As our population continues to grow, utilities are facing increasing pressure to deliver larger projects more often.

ago But the couple were willing to take up the challenge if it meant they could call 1 Fantail Crescent home Mrs Noon said they couldn’t help but fall in love with it “It was the uniqueness of the home (and) the size of the property – it has two separate wings,” she said The two-storey house sits on a 1150sq m block and has four large bedrooms and three bathrooms The couple have transformed it into a modern home since moving in with their three daughters bathrooms and laundry and giving it a fresh coat of paint “We had to fully renovate it inside – the inside was quite dated,” Mrs Noon said She said the open-plan living spaces and resort-style outdoor area with swimming pool and Bali hut made it the perfect home to entertain “We do a lot of entertaining so it’s great for that,” Mrs Noon said The huge butler’s pantry was one of her favourite parts of the house because she could use it to prepare meals while keeping the kitchen tidy “And I love the adult retreat upstairs – it’s just so nice because you can hide away,” Mrs Noon said She said it was also conveniently located close to Westfield North Lakes surrounding restaurants and cafes and public transport “You can walk to the train station if you want to get to the city “It’s a really friendly neighbourhood and the street has street parities.” third parties have written and supplied the content and we are not responsible

Fresh start: Fr Bryan Roe with members of the St Benedict’s community which has been declared a new parish for North Lakes IF there’s a Gospel reading Fr Bryan Roe wants his new parish to know by heart Fr Roe intends to make the Gospel reading from Matthew 25:31-46 the vision statement for his new parish community of St Benedict’s incorporating the communities of North Lakes “Our challenge will be to make sure we’re Christ – we are called to be Christ in this area,” he said “Jesus makes it clear in the Gospel (from last Sunday) that He’s in the hungry and thirsty that the stranger be welcomed and the prisoner be visited.” Brisbane Archbishop Mark Coleridge decreed the canonical establishment of St Benedict’s Parish in response to the growing number of Catholics at the Redcliffe City parish Fr Roe said data from the 2016 Census showed Mango Hill had a population of nearly 70,000 people while Griffin was expected to swell to 100,000 residents by 2030 North Lakes was listed as having the highest population growth in Queensland according to research by property advisor Michael Matusik “It makes sense to have a parish here because it’s where the people are.” New challenge: Fr Bryan Roe has welcomed the canonical establishment of St Benedict’s Parish serving the suburbs of Mango Hill Younger families make up the majority of the new parish community and The parish children’s liturgy topped its numbers at 95 earleir this year and the large presence of children has attracted more families each week The community is also full of multicultural Catholics representing Papua New Guinea; the Philippines; South America “The Multicultural Mass next year will be a great celebration “Our community at the moment has a great joy about them “I think it’s because they are members of the community who are very active.” Fr Roe said the present challenge was finding a presbytery and a church to call their home but his main concern was building the community for mission and that was where last weekend’s Gospel fitted in “Jesus said ‘Whatever you do for the least of my brothers “We need to make sure our pastoral ministries are there for people who are pushed to the margins.” Fr Roe’s first plan is to set up the parish’s first St Vincent de Paul Society conference to minister to people living in the region’s nursing homes and at least 60 refugee families who are settling into the area “There are young families on the mortgage belt too “A church and presbytery would be great but if I leave here after six years with just a St Vincent de Paul running and people looking after Christ in the poor The Catholic Leader is an Australian award-winning Catholic newspaper that has been published by the Archdiocese of Brisbane since 1929 accurate and balanced Catholic perspective of local national and international news while upholding the dignity of the human person We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians who have walked upon and cared for this land for thousands of years We acknowledge the continued deep spiritual attachment and relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to this country and commit ourselves to the ongoing journey of Reconciliation Copyright © All Rights Reserved The Catholic Leader Principal Darren Suhle said the agency had grown exponentially over the past seven years, with he and wife Lisa toppling sales records in their Brisbane suburbs and expanding to manage more than 1,000 properties But Mr and Mrs Suhle splitting their time between two offices was no longer working and the pair thought bringing everyone together in one office would be more efficient “The fact is we wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful without our fantastic team and we wanted to give them all our undivided attention,” Mr Suhle said “The office building on Discovery Drive was one I’d long admired and the opportunity became available to take the entire upper level and it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass on.“We’re now all under one roof and we love being able to say good morning and goodbye every day to all the people who work so hard with us daily.” Mr Suhle said he had always dreamed of owning his own business and he and Mrs Suhle met with Ray White Queensland CEO Tony Warland 12 years ago to see how they could make it happen.“The three of us devised a plan where Lisa and I could list and sell out of another Ray White office to enable us to open our own business in the future with that subsequently paying off,” Mr Suhle said “We were picking up properties in the North Lakes area and continuing to build our name in that region and it got to the point where we had four sales consultants working with us at the time the office opened “We opened our own office doors seven years ago in North Lakes only a very small office to keep our overheads low and we were able to get a listing on day one and we actually ended up listing 40 properties in our first month.”As the business continued to grow Mr and Mrs Suhle opened a second office in Mango Hill.“What started out as just Lisa and I has turned into a business where we have 26 in the team and we’re incredibly proud to see how far the team has come,” Mr Suhle said we moved into property management and we now manage more than 1,000 properties “This is a milestone we’ve always wanted to reach but we’ve now reset our goals and are wanting to kick on to bigger and better numbers “This year, we also broke the sales record for North Lakes with 16 Kennedy Court selling for $1,550,000 before the property could make it to auction.” Ray White Queensland CEO Tony Warland said he was proud of how far Mr and Mrs Suhle had come and paid testament to the North Lakes team “What Darren and Lisa have been able to build in the space of just seven years is nothing short of remarkable,” Mr Warland said.“The average property management rent roll is 350 properties so passing the 1,000 mark is a real achievement “When you join that together with a suburb sales record the incredible growth in their team and the impressive new North Lakes office News Sitemap A 59-year-old man from Burpengary East arriving at the Brisbane watch house.
