Sovereign Hills master planned community has been named the winner of the Construction category at the 18th annual Coastline Bank Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards.

The prestigious award recognises Sovereign Hills’ exceptional commitment to transforming the Port Macquarie-Hastings region through forward-thinking development practices, innovative construction solutions, and community-centric planning.

“This recognition reflects our commitment to creating not just houses, but a vibrant community that people are proud to call home,” said Michael Long, Lewis Land’s Head of Development.

“This award validates our vision of creating a thriving neighbourhood that enhances the Port Macquarie region. As we continue expanding toward our goal of 6,000 residents, we remain committed to developing a community that exemplifies excellence in every aspect.”

What set Sovereign Hills apart in the Construction category was their proactive approach to development, exemplified by strategic site preparation techniques that deliver level, build-ready lots for homeowners. Their decade-long partnership with local civil contractor KAZAC Civil demonstrates their dedication to construction quality while supporting the local economy.

As part of their commitment to addressing current housing challenges, Sovereign Hills has implemented forward planning and innovative housing solutions, with upcoming releases set to include more affordable and diverse lot options specifically designed for first-home buyers. Beyond residential development, the project has generated hundreds of local constructions jobs and continues to support small businesses within the thriving Sovereign Place Town Centre.

Beyond construction excellence, Sovereign Hills has integrated cultural sensitivity and environmental responsibility into their development practices. Their collaboration with the Local Birpai Aboriginal Land Council to create Karikeree Creek Park preserves a place of cultural significance while providing community amenities.

Sovereign Hills’ commitment to the community extends beyond property development, with over $100,000 contributed to local charities and non-profit organizations in the past 12 months, including the Hastings Education Fund, OzHarvest, Liberty Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services, and the Port Macquarie Homelessness Hub.

From its forward-thinking construction practices to its extensive community investment and innovative housing solutions, this award recognizes Sovereign Hills as more than just a development – it’s a thriving community built on connection and belonging. As the region continues to grow, Sovereign Hills stands as a testament to what thoughtful development can achieve.
