No 1 Church Street
A long-term communications partnership, from brief to delivery.
The challenge
No.1 Church Street, a luxury development in Dubbo NSW delivered by developers Gerry Harvey and the Walkom Brothers, needed a communications partner who could manage a complex, high-profile project from pre-construction through to completion — across marketing, media, stakeholder relations and crisis response.
Our approach
Engaged before construction began, Emmanate Creative has provided end-to-end communications support throughout the life of the project (from August 2023 to present), including:
Website design and ongoing refresh
Construction update communications
Crisis communications during a significant incident
Photography, videography and video production
Marketing strategy and campaign development
Sales and leasing collateral
Wayfinding, styling and art direction
Public media releases and media liaison
Signage
We've worked directly alongside the development team and the appointed real estate agency, maintaining weekly meetings with the developer throughout — providing consistent oversight across every communications touchpoint, rather than managing isolated pieces of work.
The results
Close to 80% of residences sold, with commercial spaces now also being marketed — half already secured with tenants
Television and metro news media coverage secured
A crisis communications response managed during a significant incident, protecting the project's reputation and stakeholder confidence
An active campaign now underway marketing the development to metro investors
What began as a single marketing engagement has grown into a trusted, ongoing communications partnership — one that has scaled with the project's needs, from pre-construction marketing through to crisis response and investor-facing campaigns. It reflects the kind of long-term, high-trust relationship we bring to complex, high-stakes projects.
