Larry is committed to making Mildura a liveable and functional city. During the last 25 years he has ensured a supply of housing, commercial outlets, retirement facilities and his focus in now on healthcare. He believes Mildura is a great place to live, Larry believes it offers a unique lifestyle with access to the river, a flourishing arts community and excellent cuisine. Larry is now looking at the infrastructure necessary to supply the needs of this growing and aging community.
Larry’s commitment to creating sustainable community saw him build what is now the Principal Aged Care facility on Ontario Avenue. In partnership he still owns and operates the Rose Lifestyle Village also on Ontario. This community village inspires the elderly residents to continue their independent living in a safe community environment.
He has a strong vision for the Mildura area. He sees a continuous demand for the expansion of existing and the implementation of new infrastructure to service this growing community. There is an ongoing research process that is in place which involves clients, authorities and private enterprise to locate new development proposals. Areas of research which may result in new projects being actualized include the area of health in specialist training and research facilities. Larry is particularly committed to the areas of housing and accommodation for retirees. The continuation of an independent and an actively engaged lifestyle within retirement villages is a priority as well as revising low care and high care facilities and the lifestyle available within nursing homes. Larry is investing time in providing energy efficient housing whilst maintaining affordability for young families and first home owners.
His vision extends further to major service areas including fire and ambulance and updating and consolidating existing facilities where there is a synergy between the implementation and supply of these services. He is also involved in further developments and commercial opportunities in the 15th Street retail strip as well as more recreational based businesses.
His commitment to Mildura is an integrated vision involving private and public enterprise to develop and locate industries which create employment opportunities in different sectors. These include secondary manufacturing through to professional employment. There is current research into identify industries that have been surrounded by the metropolitan sprawl and relocating them to regional areas.
After 25 years in business he and his team are able to recognise the influence that Dolfen Developments has made in Mildura. Infrastructure, development, employment and life style are the core principles of the company and its Director Larry Dimasi. With such a commitment to the area it will be interesting to see the swell of energy and activity generated by Larry which will be actualized in new projects and developments for Mildura.
