Extraordinary places managed by your not so ordinary team

Who we are

At Banna Property Group, we’re not your average property managers. We’re a family-owned company passionate about transforming neighbourhood shopping centres into thriving community spaces. With over 30,000 square metres of retail space under our care, we handle everything from local retail strips to local  neighbourhood hubs with a personal, hands-on approach. We’re here to help retailers grow and create spaces that feel as unique as the communities they serve.

We’re committed to building places where people can connect, work, and play. And while we’re serious about what we do, we also know how to keep it fun, enjoy the process, and encourage each other to grow every step of the way.

Our History

Our story began with Bernard Chan, who recognised Australia's boundless potential and made the courageous move from Papua New Guinea in 1967. With a vision to secure his family's future, Bernard invested in several commercial properties, instilling core values that continue to guide us today.

Now, three generations later Banna Property Group remains dedicated to expanding this vision — enhancing not just our family's future, but the future of the communities we serve.

Our Mission

We’re committed to breathing new life into neighbourhood shopping centres, transforming them into dynamic community hubs that meet the diverse needs of local residents.

Through our hands-on approach to property management, leasing, projects, and marketing, we support a vibrant mix of retailers, helping them grow and succeed.

Our goal is simple: to create accessible destinations where people can work, relax, connect, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Our Approach

We like to do things differently. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we take the time to understand the unique needs of each shopping centre, retailer, and community we work with.

We steer clear of red tape and unnecessary hurdles, focusing on flexible, solutions-driven strategies that make a real impact.

Our approach is personal, hands-on, and tailored, ensuring that every project and partnership reflects the distinct character of the space and the people it serves.
