The sale of a new display home built by Wincrest Homes in East Maitland featuring roofing made from COLORBOND® steel will support the Wesley Mission Homes for Hope community programs in the region.

The home is the twelfth Home for Hope to be built since the 1998 inception of the program, which has raised more than $2.5 million to support Wesley Mission services.

Mr Lachlan McGregor of Wincrest Homes said the company was proud to join Ashtonfield Estate and BHP Steel in contributing to the success of the Homes for Hope program.

"The homes are built using donations of the land, materials such as COLORBOND® steel, building labour and furnishings. They are then sold on the retail market," said Mr McGregor.

Profits produced from the sale of the homes then directly fund Wesley Mission's much needed community support programs.

The NEWFM Homes for Hope by Wincrest Homes will remain open for display until November 2003 in Murphy Circuit, Shamrock Hill Estate, East Maitland.

The Homestead display is a four-bedroom home in classic colonial style with a traditional wide verandah to the front and side of the property.

The roof made from COLORBOND® steel is a key element in the move by Wincrest Homes to incorporate environmentally friendly building design and practices.

"The use of COLORBOND® steel in a light colour promotes thermal efficiency, which is an important consideration in making new homes more energy efficient," said Mr McGregor.

"The corrugated roof made from COLORBOND® steel also suits the character of the colonial design.

"And the good thing is that the proceeds from the sale will stay in the Hunter region for the benefit of the people of the region."
