Take 3 For The Sea With Broadbeach
Take 3 pieces of rubbish when you leave the beach, waterway or…anywhere!
AVID’s #Take3fortheSea hits the Gold Coast!
On Friday 27 November, 2020, more than 30 environmental warriors from AVID’s Gold Coast office joined Take 3’s CEO Sarah Beard for the first #Take3withAVID clean-up event on the Gold Coast – just around the corner from the Broadbeach office.
After a safety briefing, the team hit what seemed like a pristine beach armed with buckets and rubbish bags to see what they could stop from entering our waterways.
In just under an hour, the team worked together to collect a staggering 3,500 items – more than 14 kilograms – of tiny plastic waste from Kurrawa beach and the Broadbeach surrounds.
“It was truly inspiring to see everyone so committed to being involved and feeling positive about their contribution. It’s not just what we picked up on the day, it’s the conversations we have and the choices we make as individuals and businesses which all contribute to making impactful change.” – Sarah Beard, Take 3 CEO

COVID-19 Response
AVID Property Group has recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health emergency, that all actions in respect of COVID-19 should be founded in expert health advice. For this reason the AVID WHSE Procedure to manage COVID-19 operates under principles agreed to and implemented by both Federal and State Governments.
Our COVID-19 procedure is designed to ensure AVID:
- Has a plan in place to respond to the issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Reviews our exposure and infection control policies and procedures, actively promote social distancing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and increase cleaning of common areas within the work environment;
- Develops and implements safe systems of work that take into account directions and advice provided by health authorities; and
- Keeps monitoring the COVID-19 situation as it develops, relying on information from authoritative sources such as public health authorities.
AVID Property Group uses a systematic approach to the management of major incidents, emergencies and crises that seriously affect or have the potential to affect the group’s people (including shareholders, employees, contractors, consultants, partners and customers), business operations, assets and/or reputation. Protocols outlined in our COVID-19 WHSE Procedure describe AVID’s response to an extraordinary occurrence, namely the outbreak of COVID-19 virus.
“All AVID staff have reacted positively to the changes required of the business to minimize a potential outbreak of COVID-19 in the workplace. Our stakeholders have also managed to pivot their business’ rapidly to ensure we are all working together to comply with both state and federal legislative requirements to minimize infection rates in the country”. – Duncan Corness, National WHSE Manager

You get to decide how your home functions
Buying your new home is a new beginning, it is the foundation to your future and a chance to design your living environment the way you want
New homes are more energy efficient
Overall new homes are much more energy efficient that older homes, thanks to better designs, improved insulation, tighter building regulations and a greater commitment to environmentally sustainable living. As well as being better for the planet, lower utility bills are better for your hip pocket.
It’s your dream home not someone else’s
Building new gives you the chance to do what YOU want, from floorplans and fittings, to paint, tiles and flooring – all how you dreamt it should be.
Avoid renovation expenses
Everything built into a new home is brand new, so you don’t have to worry about hidden plumbing problems or outdated wiring – and it is a lot more convenient and usually a lot less stressful than renovating an existing building
Home
Warranty
Your new home is covered by a host of warranties – from the included appliances and fittings to the construction itself, check with your selected builder for full details.
With you all the way home
Building your first home is exciting. AvidConnect help take the worry out of this exciting move. Our two-way communication platform can help you with choosing the right block through to contracts, settlement, building and even moving in and meeting your neighbours.
All-time low interest rates
Bank interest rates are at record lows, which is great news for homebuyers. In fact, for many people, monthly mortgage payments may even cheaper than rent.
Better lending
criteria
Financial regulators have made it easier for banks to lend money – scrapping the old criteria requiring proof that you could afford a 7% loan and replacing it with a requirement to simply show you can afford a 2.5% rise in your current agreed interest rate.
Stamp Duty
on land only
Unlike buying an established home – where the value of the home and land are factored in – the stamp duty you pay when buying new is applied only to the land, as there is no house yet, and this can potentially save you thousands of dollars.

Take 3 with AVID Partnership Report
Take 3 with AVID: a year in review
AVID’s partnership with Take 3 in 2018/2019 highlighted the much broader environmental problem we all face as a global society and has enabled the company – including its stakeholders and residents – to be more educated on how to make simple changes each day to make a difference.
Held in and around AVID’s residential communities, from the Sunshine Coast through to regional Victoria, the Take 3…with AVID series of events helped to reach and inspire more than two million Australians.
The series of events included a local school engagement project, an exclusive private film screening at a local cinema and a community clean-up day, which saw more than 350kg of waste cleared in just 12 months.
“The entire Take 3 team and I are thrilled to be partnered with a company that is committed to sustainability and spreading the message of reducing plastic pollution in our communities.”
Tim Silverwood, Take 3 CEO and Co-founder
AVID remains committed to sustainability throughout its residential communities along the eastern seaboard of Australia, and further afield, generating awareness of the Take 3 philosophy through regular communication and ongoing activities with residents.
“We have been overwhelmed by the positive response – and results – from each local event across the country and really encourage everyone to get on board and do whatever they can to help support this fantastic initiative, to take three for the sea.”
Cameron Holt, AVID Chief Executive Officer
