About us
Ingenia Communities is a leading owner, operator and creator of land lease communities and holiday parks with long and short-stay accommodation.
We offer a portfolio of lifestyle, rental and holiday park assets across key urban and coastal markets – unified by a single purpose: building belonging and creating communities where people want to live, stay and belong.
At the heart of our model is a genuine belief that attainable, high-quality living and exceptional community experiences should be accessible to all Australians. Our business combines stable recurring rental and tourism income, with development returns from new home settlements – delivering a diversified earnings profile.
We create secure, independent and engaged lifestyles for older Australians, while welcoming guests and holidaymakers to some of the country's most desirable coastal and regional destinations.
Our integrated approach – spanning development, operations and long-term ownership, creates lasting value across the full property lifecycle. This scalable platform, backed by a strong balance sheet and experienced leadership team, positions us for impact as well as growth – enriching lives, strengthening communities and delivering sustainable returns for investors.
From Queensland's sun-drenched coastline to the growth corridors of New South Wales and Victoria, we continue to expand our footprint, guided by a disciplined strategy, a deep respect for our stakeholders, and an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement in everything we do.
Through integrated development and ongoing community ownership and operation, we positively impact the quality of life and lifestyle of thousands of people every day.
Creating lifestyles and destinations for over 50s and families across Australia's East Coast

Our Scale
As one of Australia's most established owners, operators and developers of land lease communities, rental communities and holiday parks, we continue to expand our footprint through targeted acquisitions and development opportunities in key markets, benefiting from demographic and migration trends and diverse revenue streams.

Development sites owned/secured driving future growth
Since listing on the ASX in 2012 as Ingenia Communities, our operations have grown from a diversified aged care and student accommodation business, to an established institutional owner and developer of accommodation across the Living and Tourism sectors.
Today, Ingenia is positioned as a leading platform within our sector, with a strong pipeline supporting future expansion. We remain focused on delivering long-term value for all stakeholders.
In that process, we have evolved from an externally managed vehicle to an independently listed business with a current market capitalisation of $1.7 billion – seeing the Group divest offshore assets to refocus on the Australian market.
Our evolution has been driven by a clear strategy and disciplined capital allocation. Having identified the potential of land lease communities to meet a growing housing need, we began a period of asset aggregation in 2013, building a portfolio of land lease, rental and tourism assets, and acquiring land to secure future growth.
Moving from a focus on asset aggregation in August 2024, the business refined its approach, strengthening operational performance while accelerating development-led growth to enhance both earnings and scalability.
Our Purpose and Values
Everything we do at Ingenia is guided by a simple but powerful purpose – to build communities where people have a sense of belonging.

Board of Directors
The Ingenia Communities Board brings together extensive expertise across real estate, finance, governance, sustainability and risk management. Collectively, the Board oversees Ingenia's strategy, financial performance, risk appetite, sustainability commitments and long-term value creation.
Leadership Team
Ingenia's Executive team comprises experienced industry leaders committed to fostering a culture of excellence and delivering on the Group's financial and strategic goals. The team is led by CEO John Carfi, supported by senior professionals across finance, development, tourism, residential, technology, legal and investor relations.
Announced in August 2024, our strategy centres around two key real estate segments – Living and Tourism, focused on transitioning from an acquisition-led growth model to an efficient operator and developer. It is underpinned by clear demographic tailwinds – housing demand, an ageing population and demand for domestic travel.
Our Living segment is dominated by a growing land lease communities business, and accounts for 69% of portfolio EBIT. It is the primary driver of future growth through an active development pipeline.
Our Tourism segment, Ingenia Holidays, benefits from the resilience of domestic tourism for its short-stay accommodation and includes a component of land lease and annual sites, generating stable recurring income from across 39 holiday parks. Development activity is centred on asset densification.
The strategy is supported by a clear 5-Year Plan, which provides a clear roadmap for future growth and enhanced returns. In FY25, Ingenia delivered on all Year-1 Plan goals, including restructuring the Executive team, exiting non-core activities, accelerating land lease settlements, and exceeding guidance with growth in EBIT, cash flow and EPS.
