ANYONE wanting to know why Warralily is Victoria’s number-one development for land sales only needs to speak to one of its 3000 residents.
They will explain that the estate’s relaxed lifestyle, just 10 minutes from the beach, brings together advanced infrastructure like the National Broadband Network and recycled water feeding extensive parklands.
Most importantly, they will describe the sense of community and belonging developing from the groups and activities coordinated by Warralily’s dedicated community development officer, Kylie Pollock.
Kylie helps residents foster relationships and community ties through numerous gatherings and events including a mothers group, yoga and Warralily community and business groups.
A new highlight on the community calendar is a quarterly Live Well Market that supports the community and local businesses through a diverse range of stalls, demonstration and information sessions, live entertainment and free family activities. The market is already attracting over a 1000 visitors, with the next on Father’s Day.
Celebrating its fifth anniversary as Geelong’s largest master-planned community and the leading estate in the Armstrong Creek growth area, Warralily’s best-practice urban design has won numerous awards including UDIA EnviroDevelopment certification and a 2014 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Sustainable Business Award.
This year construction will begin on a $100 million first phase of Warralily Village, including a Woolworths supermarket, state primary and special needs schools and a community centre and sports pavilion.
The village design, which includes a town square, main street-style shopping and anb exciting eat-street concept, will become a key community meeting place.
At completion Warralily will have an estimated population of 15,000 and a full array of community services including neighbourhood shopping centres, cafes and restaurants, a health and community centre, five schools and sports facilities including football ovals, soccer fields, netball and tennis courts and bowling greens.
