At Stockland, we know it takes a lot more than bricks and mortar to create connected, happy communities. Since 1952, we’ve been building communities that bring people together. Spaces filled with energy, soul, and life. Where houses become homes and neighbours become family. All in pursuit of our purpose, a better way to live.
Our annual Liveability Survey is one of the ways we bring this purpose to life. By measuring what matters, we can better understand and design our communities around the things our residents love. From the quality of parks and playgrounds to how community design supports healthy minds and active lifestyles. We recognise, what matters to one person can be very different to the next. That’s why we survey across a diverse range, including belonging, connection, health and fitness, safety, environment, and sustainability
Earlier this year, The Gables residents were invited to complete our 2024 Liveability Survey. The results are in. We’ve listened. And here are some of the initiatives we’ve implemented.

Regular community updates
We recognise the importance of staying connected with The Gables community and keeping everyone informed about the latest updates and developments. To enhance our communication efforts, we will continue providing consistent community updates through quarterly development update videos and regular resident newsletters.
Additionally, we’re excited to announce the installation of a community news board at Bobby Bakehouse, which will serve as a space for local announcements and community engagement. These initiatives aim to keep everyone in the loop, strengthen relationships, and foster a more inclusive and interactive environment within our community.
