Managing director Andrew Welsh said adding value to the area and paying homage to Echuca was top of mind, especially with such a growing population.
“At Wel.Co, we are committed to preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of local areas such as Echuca,” he said.
“As development partners across our portfolio, we thrive on getting successful outcomes for the original landowners, many of which have had to face numerous challenges and roadblocks over many years trying to obtain approvals.
“By overcoming these obstacles while understanding the importance of maintaining the integrity of the local culture, we have demonstrated Wel.Co’s significant contribution to the growth and vibrancy of the community.”
