Warralily at Armstrong Creek has officially commenced construction with the turning of the first sod today.
City of Greater Geelong Mayor Cr John Mitchell along with Michael Crutchfield MP and other local representatives were at Warralily to celebrate the milestone event.
The Mayor said he was proud to see Council's vision for Armstrong Creek being realised.
"Many, many years of planning and consultation have gone into the development of this environmentally sustainable growth area and I'm thrilled to see it now coming to life."
"Not only will Armstrong Creek provide much needed residential land, but jobs, schools, sports grounds and other important community facilities."
The turning of the sod marks the start of Warralily’s civil works which will provide the infrastructure required for the new community, display village and rejuvenation of the adjacent Armstrong Creek.
It will also pave the way for the installation of Warralily’s fibre optic communication network which will be future proofed to deliver increasing functionality and capacity over time, in addition to the laying of purple pipes to provide recycled water to all homes.
Warralily General Manager Mark Whinfield said that today’s event is an exciting milestone for the families who have already purchased home sites, as well as the broader Geelong community.
Since its first land release in June this year, already 300 home sites have been sold at Warralily with buyers eager to be part of Geelong’s first master planned development.
“Today is the first important step in making Warralily a reality for our future residents who have chosen Warralily for its ideal coastal location, green open spaces and walking trails linking homes to schools and shops,” he said.
“But it’s also significant for the people of Geelong, with the development playing a leading role in the growth and future of the region.”
The civil works contractor, Winslow Constructors, had their digger on hand to help turn the first sod. Winslow, a Victorian contractor with 25 years experience, will work with local contractors and material suppliers to manage the delivery of infrastructure for the Warralily development.
We anticipate that Stages 1A, 1B and 1C will be titling mid 2011 and Stages 3 and 4 will be titling at the end of 2011. Should you have any queries regarding Warralily please don’t hesitate to contact me on 1300 661 719.
