A no-reserve charity auction in Tarragindi will feature award-winning auctioneer Justin Nickerson selling the 2025 House for Life, with all proceeds supporting Mater Little Miracles.
Community Initiative Supports Premature Babies
The annual House for Life charity auction will return to Tarragindi, with this year’s home set to go under the hammer at 43 Amulree Street. The 2025 property will be auctioned by renowned auctioneer Justin Nickerson, with the full sale amount directed to Mater Little Miracles—supporting the care of seriously ill and premature newborns at Mater Mothers’ Neonatal Critical Care Unit.
A Legacy of Giving
Launched in 2008, the House for Life program has raised more than $6.5 million for the Mater Foundation. The initiative funds vital medical equipment and research aimed at improving health outcomes for mothers and babies. The 2025 auction will mark the tenth home built and donated through the effort, highlighting Plantation Homes’ long-standing support for local families.
Leading the Auction
Justin Nickerson, known for his extensive experience and numerous industry accolades, will take on the role of auctioneer. As the founder of Apollo Auctions, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the event. The format of a no-reserve auction is expected to attract strong community interest, with organisers emphasising the inclusive opportunity for potential buyers to participate.
The auction is scheduled for 12 p.m. on Saturday, 5 April.
About the Property
Positioned on a 607m² block, the four-bedroom home features several spacious living areas, a modern kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a swimming pool, and a 7-star energy efficiency rating. The home comes fully furnished with a contemporary interior design and is ready for immediate occupancy. Plantation Homes has credited the collective contribution of its team and trade partners for bringing the project to life.
Ongoing Support from Coronis
Real estate group Coronis has returned to support the auction for a second year, with Solomon Michael leading the sales campaign. The company has described its involvement as deeply meaningful, acknowledging the broader impact of the initiative on Queensland families.
Chairman Andrew Coronis shared a personal motivation behind the group’s participation, referring to a past family experience and the care received at Mater. This connection has reinforced the organisation’s continued support for House for Life.
Mater Little Miracles at a Glance
Mater Mothers’ Neonatal Critical Care Unit provides 24-hour specialised treatment to over 1,700 premature and critically ill babies each year. The funds raised through initiatives like House for Life enable Mater to invest in research, high-end medical equipment, and essential care services. This includes life-saving support for more than 50 newborns annually who rely on advanced ventilators for survival.
Looking Ahead in Tarragindi
With strong community backing and industry support, the upcoming auction is expected to generate significant interest. The organisers are aiming for a result that not only benefits the new homeowners but also delivers meaningful outcomes for babies and families in need through Mater Little Miracles.
