Relax into the community

Anyone wanting to know why Warralily is Victoria’s number one development for land sales only needs to speak to one of its 4000 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 co-ordinated 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, mishfit, Tiny Tots dance classes and Warralily community and business groups.
A highlight on the community calendar is the quarterly Live Well Market which showcases local handmade wares, fresh produce, live entertainment and free family activities. The market is already attracting more than 1500 visitors, with the next on Father’s Day.
Celebrating its sixth 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, a 2014 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Sustainable Business Award and most recently Stormwater Victoria’s 2016 Excellence in Integrated Stormwater Design award.
Construction of a $100 million first phase of Warralily Village is underway, 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 an 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.
