As a wholly owned South Australian business, Lanser is passionate about our beautiful state. With SA DNA at our core, we deeply care about the legacy we leave behind in our developments.
Building a Better Future
At Lanser, we believe that creating places for people to call home should positively impact the broader community. Our philosophy, that life is “better by design,” underscores our commitment to thoughtful, well-designed communities that enhance well-being and responsibly serve our residents today and for generations to come.
Our Sustainable Practices
Lanser goes beyond creating connected communities. Our team is constantly exploring innovative ways to:
- Design Smart Housing Solutions: Our Lanser Living team designs and delivers intelligent turnkey homes, ensuring accessible price points for homebuyers without compromising on quality.
- Stimulate Economic Investment and Local Jobs: Boosting the local economy and providing employment opportunities.
- Create Engaging Relationships with Stakeholders: Building strong, collaborative partnerships.
- Foster Diversity, Equal Opportunity, and Career Development: Promoting an inclusive and supportive workplace.

- Instill Values and Ethical Business Practices: Our core values are centered on being a fair, credible, and professional development group dedicated to excellence and the creation of high-quality, liveable places.
Pioneering Sustainable Practices
Lanser is always on the lookout for new sustainable approaches. We were the first company in South Australia to install LED street lights, we have built infrastructure in our developments from eco-friendly recycled plastics, and we are currently trialling a local company’s innovative stormwater harvesting technology. Our commitment to stewardship and responsible leadership drives us to continuously improve our practices.
Tree Retention and Urban Design
At Lanser, tree retention is a fundamental aspect of our urban design philosophy. We strive to incorporate mature trees into our developments whenever possible, protecting them with permeable paving and water-sensitive urban design. We adjust street layouts to preserve these natural assets, as exemplified in Aston Hills, where we designed a mountain bike trail park around a beautiful selection of mature trees on site. Beyond retaining existing trees, we plant hundreds of new trees in each development, enhancing street landscapes, parks, and reserves. This commitment to maintaining and expanding tree canopies helps reduce heat load, encourages biodiversity, and ensures a green legacy for future generations.
Award-Winning Environmental Excellence
In 2021, Lanser proudly received the UDIA (SA) Award for Environmental Excellence for our Water Sensitive Urban Design in the Central Lakes precinct at Aston Hills. This recognition reflects our belief that thoughtful and creative urban design can elevate the built environment and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
Designing for Green Exercise
At Lanser, we prioritise designing our developments to promote green exercise, ensuring that residents of all ages and abilities have ample opportunities to stay healthy outdoors. Our aim is for every home to be within 300 meters of a green space, seamlessly integrating fitness and walking trails throughout our communities. We also incorporate engaging features such as mountain bike parks, skate parks, basketball rings, playgrounds, and nature play areas to cater to children of all ages, fostering an active and vibrant lifestyle for everyone.
Engaging and Enriching Communities
Our commitment to community goes beyond development; we actively engage with our residents to foster lasting connections and build vibrant neighbourhoods. We sponsor local sporting clubs, contributing to the health and vitality of the community. Additionally, we activate our communities by celebrating special events and holidays, and hosting activities such as boot camps and on-site library sessions to bring the community together. By supporting local sports and organising community events, we create opportunities for residents to connect, stay active, and enjoy a sense of community spirit.
At Lanser, our ethos is that sustainable, well-designed communities can enhance lives and create a positive, enduring legacy for South Australia.
