Celebrating 45 Years of Building Communities That Feel Like Home

For 45 years Satterley has stood at the forefront of residential land development in Australia, creating thriving communities where people live, grow, and raise their families. From humble beginnings in Perth in 1980 to becoming the country’s largest privately-owned land developer, this anniversary marks a significant chapter in the company’s ongoing story of innovation, community and lasting impact.

A Vision That Has Shaped Neighbourhoods Across Australia

Satterley was established in 1980 by Nigel Satterley, whose passion for community-centred land development laid the foundation for what the company is today. From the outset the focus has been on crafting masterplanned residential estates that offer more than land alone, by integrating connected public spaces, amenities and landscaped environments that reflect real lifestyle value.

Over four and a half decades the company has grown its portfolio to include hundreds of communities across Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland. Satterley’s work has helped house more than a quarter of a million Australians and shape neighbourhoods that feel like home.

Innovation, Excellence and Awards

Throughout its history Satterley has consistently set high standards in estate design, sustainability and community development. This commitment to quality has been recognised with more than 100 prestigious state, national and international awards spanning design, planning and marketing.

This longevity of success reflects not just market leadership but a steadfast dedication to planning and execution that meets the evolving needs of residents and industry. Satterley’s approach has influenced how masterplanned communities are conceived, positioning the company as a trusted developer and partner in growth corridors across three states.

People at the Heart of Our Journey

At the core of Satterley’s 45-year story are the people who have shaped it: the leadership and team members who bring expertise and care to every project, the builder partners who deliver homes, and the families and individuals who choose to live in Satterley communities. This collective contribution has defined Satterley’s reputation as a company that delivers not just land, but opportunity and belonging.

Founder Nigel Satterley remains actively involved, guiding the company’s vision and championing its values. His relentless energy for growth, innovation and quality continues to steer Satterley as it evolves into the future.

Looking Ahead

As Satterley celebrates 45 years of building successful communities, the company remains committed to delivering exceptional living environments for generations to come. With a strong pipeline of new communities and continued investment in planning, sustainability and design excellence, the next chapter promises to uphold the legacy of quality and community focus that has defined Satterley since day one.
