After 50 years of taking the law into his own hands, eight of which included being on the board of Development Edge, Peter Johnson has officially retired.
Notwithstanding that retirement, Peter has kept some order in the development court as an ongoing investor in current and future projects initiated by Development Edge.
“It has been a great experience for me to have participated with other industry professionals in land development projects and to witness the remarkable expertise that has been developed by Development Edge,” he said.
Peter commended the Development Edge management for their community connectedness, high respectability and innate productivity.
“The success of the projects that have been undertaken over that period has been due to the skill of the Development Edge team in assessing the potential of land for development, the risks and viability of intended projects, and the negotiations for acquisition of land,” he said.
“Followed by the engagement of skilled contractors and consultants and the maintenance of strict financial controls.”
During his time working with the company, Peter’s legal expertise contributed to the completion of some of Development Edge’s biggest project undertakings, invoking a shared sense of pride with the company’s personnel.
“I look at Development Edge initiated projects such as Seven Creeks Estate, The Vines, Providence Field and Sanctuary Park and see the excellence of the finished product — residential estates of which the Goulburn Valley can be very proud,” Peter said.
“This has been replicated in its residential estate developments in Bendigo and Echuca.”
When asked what he believes the future may hold for Development Edge, Peter communicated the company’s aspirations with the utmost respect and admiration for his team.
“I believe that the company has played a leading role in the provision of quality residential land developments in the last decade, which has been a major factor in the growth of Shepparton and of great importance to Bendigo and Echuca,” he said.
“I am confident that its influence in the growth of these communities will continue to develop and become increasingly important and relevant to their futures.”
Development Edge congratulates Peter on his outstanding career, devotion to the company and generosity to those in the community. The team wishes him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.
