The village will include 41 apartments and 52 townhouses, and is located across the street from the Bunjil’s Nest adventure playground, Club Armstrong caf\u00e9\/gym\/pool facility, the Poa Banyul Community Hub and Mirripoa Primary School.<\/p>\n
Villawood executive director Rory Costelloe and Empire Properties managing director Tony Masa visisted the site last week.<\/p>\n
Mr Costelloe said the new precinct was a pioneering project with new levels of amenity, service access and residential housing.<\/p>\n
“It will provide residents more choice with close, ready access to services and facilities people need every day, including later in the day such as restaurants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “These will be within easy walking distance, which is the modern way, and provide increased choice for Armstrong residents without having to cross the busy Surf Coast Highway.<\/p>\n “The centre is also pioneering medium density living in the greenfields, with the first four-level project in the Geelong growth corridor.<\/p>\n “This is a forerunner of what we will see in the new Batesford and Lovely Banks growth corridors, where some 18,000 blocks are planned for Geelong’s north and west in coming years as the region gears up to grow to a population of half a million.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/11.png?_t=1693448845\")
