A national award winning family-run business, Bisinella Developments has a proud 57 year history of successful residential and industrial development in the Geelong region. In 1953, nine-year-old Lino Bisinella migrated to Australia from Italy with his family. They settled in Little River and then Norlane. A plasterer by trade, Lino was working for himself by the age of 19 and took on his first full-time employee in October 1964. A decade later, the enterprising post-war migrant was employing a workforce of 45 at his plasterboard factory in Corio. Over the years, the business has grown and diversified into Bisinella Developments as we know it today – one of the region’s largest local land development company. Bisinella has a proud history of facilitating investment and generating jobs in the region. Since he started, Lino, Bisinella’s managing director, has provided direct and indirect employment for thousands of local people on the company’s industrial and residential projects. The family business employs 18 staff and has more than 75 contractors and consultants working on Bisinella projects throughout the Geelong region on any given work day. Lino’s first residential subdivision went on the market in 1990 and since then he has developed estates, totalling thousands of lots, across the Geelong region. Bisinella’s successful formula is to provide high quality real estate, urban design and community infrastructure and back it up with exemplary customer service.
