From modest beginnings in 1989 developing small subdivisions in Bendigo, today Villawood Properties predominately concentrates on large scale master planned communities which incorporate a combination of mixed-use town centres, residents’ clubs, educational facilities, large display villages and the creation of high quality parks and open spaces. We understand there is much more to creating a living, breathing community than simply constructing a housing allotment, and are committed to going that extra mile to deliver vibrant communities where residents form strong and lasting relationships. With a proven track record in delivering innovative, community-focused developments, Villawood boasts a portfolio of over 50 completed residential projects.
At Villawood, a sense of social responsibility is built (quite literally) into the foundations of our business. We’re huge believers in the power of community and the inherent responsibility of developers to not only foster it, but tangibly support it. It’s immensely important to us to give back to the community we’ve come from and lead the way in the future we all want to live in.
In conversation with broadcasting legend, Ray Martin, Villawood’s Executive Directors, Rory and Tony take you behind the scenes of our organisation and what matters to it most.
Melbourne’s surging property prices are making it increasingly difficult for people in the essential services to get into the market. Villawood’s Care Worker Support Program was created in 2018 so that people working in these roles can still afford to buy land in Villawood projects.
Under this initiative, purchasers who are employed as care workers who work within a 10km radius of a Villawood community that they are seeking to buy in, will be eligible for a $20,000 rebate on their block of land. Villawood devised the Care Workers Support Program so care workers may live and work in the communities they serve.

Villawood Properties has embraced named face masks to offset the impersonal effect of the mandatory pandemic accessories. Executive Director Rory Costelloe said anti-Covid masks were making people anonymous and a little too much like bank robbers. “They’re very anti-social, you can’t recognise friends when you’re outside shopping, having a coffee or just walking about,” he said.
