Announcement posted by Lowe Design and Build 06 Dec 2017


Melbourne - 6 November, 2017. Last Saturday evening, Bayside construction company Lowe Design & Build held the launch of the Lowe Foundation, celebrating more than 30 years of commitment to community well-being. The event was marked with a gala event at Woodlands Golf Club and hosted by Directors Mr. Brian Lowe and Mr. Matt Lowe.

 

Guest speakers were Jake Edwards, former AFL player and Founder of ‘Outside the Locker Room’ (OTLR, www.outsidethelockerroom.com.au) as well as Michael Weiser and Sandi Sieger, Program Directors of Camp Awakenings (www.campawakenings.com.au).

 

In his speech, Mr. Edwards commented, “It is with immense gratitude I thank Lowe Design & Build for all the time and financial support they generously give to Outside the Locker Room. With their help, we have had 935 young participants through our Welfare & Education Program within the Victorian South East region”.

 

The event was a success with over 100 people in attendance which reinstated the strong connection between Lowe Design & Build and the community, in particular, their two flagship charities OTLR and Camp Awakenings.

 

Camp Awakenings provides Year 9 participants with the opportunity to develop and harness methods and skills to counter the challenges faced by today's youth. Camp Awakening's Program director Michael Weiser echoed thanks of support from the Lowe Foundation.  


The sizeable turnout was also a display of the support and gleaming reputation this Bayside builder has upheld within the community over the last generation.

 

“We are a company who has always been dedicated to excellence and giving back to the community and being involved is part of what we do.” stated Founder and Director Brian Lowe.  “We are proud to introduce the Lowe Foundation and look forward to continuing this commitment to our community.”

 

The Lowe Foundation currently supports the following programs many of which focus on youth development, mental and physical well-being and cancer research:

  • Outside The Locker Room of which Matt Lowe is a board member
  • Camp Awakenings
  • Family Life Charity Organisation
  • Mordialloc Lifesaving Club
  • Edithvale Fire Brigade (what capacity?)
  • Pink Ribbon Foundation
  • Major sponsor of the Chelsea Rotary & Artshow
  • Isabella and Marcus Foundation

Lowe Design & Build was established in 1984 by Brian Lowe.  It was at this time Brian thought it equally important to be an active and involved local community member and so signed up to the Chelsea Rotary Club. In 2011 Kingston City Council awarded Brian Lowe with the Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award for his service to the community and for setting up a trust fund through the construction business that raised over $1,000,000 to fund various local schools, facilities and programs.

 

Since 2000, Brian has been co-director of the business with his son Matt. This outstanding father son duo has delivered exceptional homes and townhouse projects within the bayside corridor whilst still ensuring the company culture of community support and involvement was always upheld.


Matt Lowe commented, “We have been part of the Bayside community for over 30 years, not only through our personal involvement but also through the work we do. We service our bayside clientele by delivering an exceptional design and build package and enjoy receiving their positive testimonials. So it is with this gratitude that we feel and want to give back to the community.  Seeing the positive impact and difference these programs, we support, make to the youth and program participants is absolutely rewarding.”
