Castle Group’s South-West Family Fun Day a Record-Breaking Success

Castle Group, through its philanthropic arm, the Perera Foundation, says it has set a benchmark for community engagement in South-West Sydney after its largest family fun day to date.

The event, held on Sunday, September 21 at the developer’s Bloomfield residential project at Austral, attracted more than 5000 people from across the region with queues stretching around the block.

A highlight of the event was Castle Group’s auction of three residential lots, including a 300sqm parcel that sold for $747,000—equating to $2490 per square metre—a record for the developer.

Group chief executive Ritchie Perera said the event celebrated the growth of South-West Sydney communities.

“The fun day was about celebrating the growth and vibrancy of communities in this region, and a way for Castle Group to give back to our community,” Perera said.

Local MP Nathan Hagarty said the size of the crowd “shows how much this community wants and needs more community events and spaces”.

The day included free food stalls serving more than 6000 meals, live entertainment, market stalls, kids’ activities and a showcase of community initiatives.

Attendees included Liverpool mayor Ned Mannoun and Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue chief executive Adam Leto.

Attendees also had an early look at Castle Group’s latest project, The Canopy at Austral, a 500-plus-lot subdivision expected to deliver a major new residential community in the region.

Perera said the event reflected Castle Group’s ongoing commitment to creating communities of scale, quality and opportunity.

“We were thrilled to be able to bring people together and remain committed to delivering communities that shape the future of South-West Sydney.”
