At Cedar Woods Properties Limited, we are very much aware that we have obligations and responsibilities to the communities and the environment in which we work, and to our shareholders.
The Peel Health Campus Foundation, The Southern Arc Campaign and The Murdoch Hospice are just three of the many sponsorship programmes that we are proud to be involved with.
 The Peel Health Campus Foundation was established in 2005 to help improve the quality of healthcare in the Peel region – an area that covers some 5,500 square kilometres – and to help establish the Campus as a centre of excellence through improved infrastructure and medical equipment.The Foundation’s inaugural project is the establishment of a dedicated Paediatric Unit at a cost of $3 million. To date (August 2005) the Foundation has raised nearly 50% of the target.
Other priorities of the Foundation include the expansion and upgrade of the Emergency Department - which currently attends to over 29,000 people per annum - and the provision of new aged care facilities.
Cedar Woods has committed $50,000 to the Foundation over a period of 5 years and looks forward to helping build a healthier, brighter future for families and communities within the Peel Region. More recently the Partnership between Cedar Woods and the PHC Foundation, including Pindan to build a charity Home at Mariner's Cove will begin construction 1st June 2006. The project is expected to be completed by December 2006 and will be auctioned during February 2007. Many local builiders, suppliers and tradesmen are donating towards the success of this project.
  11 year old Kieran Teraci, injured in a farm accident in October 2004, was chosen as the representative for the foundation to emphasise the importance of having a children’s ward at Peel Health Campus.
Australian of the Year, Professor Fiona Wood, attended the fundraising dinner to officially launch the foundation.

 The Great Southern Arc Campaign is the greatest biodiversity preservation and restoration project in Australia.The aim of this ambitious project is to reconnect existing blocks of remnant bushland by creating a network of pathways of native vegetation so that the flora and wildlife, currently trapped in small isolated habitats, can repopulate the area between the Stirling Ranges National Park and the Fitzgerald River National Park.
Cedar Woods has committed $50,000 to this important project over three years through the Greening WA and Australian Bush Heritage Fund.
Monies raised for the Southern Arc Campaign will:
The overall visions is to protect, restore and sustain functioning ecosystems and biodiversity in an arc across south-western Australia, from the wet karri forests Kalgoorlie in the arid interior. This is an extraordinarily rish area and is acknowledged globally as part of a world class "biodiversity hotspot". The main focus of the work is between the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River national parks, where land clearing has disruped the continuity of native vegetation. The funds raised in the campaign enable the project team to identify properties, purchase intact bushland and revegetate agricultural land. The properties are selected on the basis of their strategic value in restoring the region's ecological richness, the importance of their location along the ecological pathway and the relative eas with which they can be restored. Murdoch Hospice – Annual Peter Evans Golf Day
For many years the Murdoch Community Hospice has provided compassionate palliative care, support and counselling for private and public terminally ill patients and their families.
Keen golfer Peter Evans was a patient at Murdoch Hospice in 2003, during which time he, his family and friends experienced firsthand the generous hospitality and heart-felt care they provide to those in need.
Today, Cedar Woods joins Peter’s family and sporting friends at Gosnells Golf Club and Melville Glades Golf Club in hosting the Peter Evans Golf Day, an annual tournament to raise funds for this priceless facility and its services.
In 2005, Cedar Woods supported this popular event with a $2000 donation. This year a donation of a further $3000, as well as including a Cedar Woods golf team with staff working as volunteers on the day saw more than $20,000 raised for the hospice in 2006.
Voted by many in 2005 and 2006 as ‘the best golf day ever’, the Peter Evans Golf Day grants Cedar Woods and members of the community the chance to enjoy the pastime of a much loved family member and friend, while supporting an invaluable local facility.
