(01) · Vision

Founded by Bernie McGovern Snr and now led by Bernie McGovern Jnr and Will McGovern, the business brings two generations into Queensland development.

For more than 25 years, McGovern Developments has identified opportunities, delivered quality projects and created places with lasting value.

The portfolio spans landmark apartments, renewed retirement communities, regional hospitality assets, award-winning tourism destinations and master-planned lifestyle communities.

Each project is shaped with local communities, industry partners and public authorities in mind, so the outcome works for the people who live, work and visit there.
