Guardala keen to make an impact

- TONY RAGGATT

THE Property Industry Foundation has appointed CEO of Lancini Property Group and Laurence Lancini Constructi­ons Salvatore Guardala to its board of advisers.

Mr Guardala brings with him more than 17 years of industry experience and knowledge to support the foundation in building homes for homeless young people.

Mr Guardala says he joins the foundation already familiar with the team and culture after having affiliatio­ns for many years and is excited about the opportunit­y the position allows him to make through meaningful contributi­ons such as his time and using his industry ties.

“The Property Industry Foundation is an opportunit­y to make a small change that leads to a bigger change. To help homelessne­ss and domestic violence is a generation­al shift, which, if we get it right now, the future solution is more prosperous,” Mr Guardala said.

“I think there’s a real opportunit­y in Townsville to make a difference for people.”

Property Industry Foundation Queensland Chairman Greg Clarke said he was thrilled about Mr Guardala’s appointmen­t.

He believes he is a perfect fit as a proactive industry partner with a strong passion for empowering young people to improve their lives.

“The foundation has always perfectly positioned itself to make a real difference in the lives of Queensland­ers and together with the support of Salvatore, our abilities will only be strengthen­ed,” Mr Clarke said.

“With continued support from our incredible board of advisers and the greater Queensland property community, we will deliver more on the ground – more facilities for homeless young people, more upgrades to ageing stock and, fundamenta­lly, more bedrooms to house our homeless.”

The foundation has distribute­d nearly $30m to youth homelessne­ss causes over 25 years.
