Built on Trust & Expertise
Leisure Lifestyle Villages is led by proven operators with decades in property, construction, finance and business management — who've built and exited major businesses, delivered large-scale developments, and now apply that expertise to growing LLV's portfolio.
Tarek Salcedo
CEO and Chairman
Tarek Salcedo has a proven track record of building and scaling medium-to-large businesses that attract institutional buyers. He grew a traffic-management company before successfully exiting through an ASX-listed IPO. After later re-entering the sector, he built Traffex into a substantial operation spanning Australia’s east coast and completed another successful exit. Tarek subsequently assembled a significant commercial property portfolio and participated in a broad range of real-estate transactions, gaining extensive hands-on experience in deal sourcing, due diligence, capital allocation and asset management. Today, Tarek leads Leisure Lifestyle Villages, combining his experience as an operator and investor through a disciplined acquisition model. The company acquires established, cash-generating caravan parks in supply-constrained east-coast locations and unlocks further value by progressively developing them into affordable lifestyle communities.
Colin Hall
Director
Colin Hall has spent more than 40 years as a builder and developer, with the last 20 concentrated specifically on retirement village assets — a specialisation that has produced a repeatable, de-risked investment playbook. He has taken three separate large resort style village developments (Bremer Waters, Ipswich; Port Macquarie; and a further 286-site project at Maroochydore) from acquisition through to design, approvals, construction and sale, with two of those exits realised through sale to Hometown Australia, a proven institutional buyer in the sector. In 2019 he shifted toward a passive-income acquisition when he purchased the already-operating, near-fully-occupied Alstonville Leisure Village — demonstrating range across both ground-up development and cash-flowing asset acquisition. Since joining the LLV Board in 2022, Colin has brought this full-cycle expertise — site selection, planning, funding-ready business case formulation, construction delivery, and ongoing village management — directly to LLV's underwriting and execution process.
