Building and construction of Geelong’s 2025 Good Friday Appeal Home is finished and will go to auction on Good Friday.
More than 100 tradies and suppliers gathered at the home at Mount Duneed on Tuesday, many seeing the finished product for the first time.
Brought together for a big breakfast by Henley Homes and Villawood Properties, the group reunited as a community of volunteers who contributed their skills, time and materials to something far more meaningful than a standard build.
Set to go under the hammer this Friday in a no-reserve auction, the stunning family home will see every dollar raised go directly to The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, supporting life-saving care for sick children and their families.
“This is the moment many of our trades and suppliers get to stop, look around and take in what they have built,” general manager marketing Henley, Tindi Sorbera said.
“There is a sense of quiet pride, of mateship and shared commitment. It is not only about this amazing construction, but also about contribution. When you talk to the volunteer tradies and supplies, you can feel how much it means to be part of something that helps change children’s lives.”
The home is the Juno 442-D48 by Henley, a double-storey design with four bedrooms, a theatre, wine room, retreat and expansive living and alfresco zones and is fully furnished.
“These tradies and suppliers give their time and talent so generously, never asking for anything in return,” Villawood Properties chief executive Alan Miller said.
The no-reserve auction will be held on Friday April 18 at 19 Electric Crescent, Mount Duneed at 2pm.
